Type of Change
Motivation and Context
[Why is this change needed?]
Fixes #1554
The application data directory (~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.container) can contain large, sparse files whose apparent size is significantly larger than their allocated size. This may cause backup tools to process unnecessary data or fail when backing up the container application data.
This change marks the application root directory with URLResourceKey.isExcludedFromBackupKey, preventing it from being included in backups while preserving normal container functionality.
