Hi,

You need to grant the application permission in System Settings.This error indicates a privacy setting is blocking the app from accessing the network. If the error persists after granting permissions, try restarting your Mac and Wi-Fi router, checking your date and time settings, and temporarily disabling any VPN or security software.
