Why Does Folder Creation Fail on a Physical iPhone but Work on macOS and the iOS Simulator?

I am trying to create a folder inside the parent folder or the root folder of my app’s sandbox. This folder, also known as the parent folder, is already sandboxed.
The code throws a “you do not have permission to create folder” error on a physical iPhone. Why does this issue occur only on an actual device, even though the same operation works perfectly in macOS and the iOS Simulator? Could it be due to differences in sandboxing or permission handling?
The reason I think this issue is fixable is that I am working inside my app’s sandbox. Since this area is not outside the sandbox, I should theoretically be able to create this folder. How can this behavior be fixed to work reliably across all environments?
