QuickLook Preview Extension is not properly signed in releases

What is the issue?

In #7213 new QuickLook preview extension for torrent files was introduced. But it does not work with the official releases.

Expected behavior

QuickLook preview for .torrent files shows on macOS 15.0+

Actual behavior

No preview loads for .torrent files.

Details:

Extension is not signed properly in the official releases, as App Sandbox is not enabled (via entitlement com.apple.security.app-sandbox)

When building with Xcode locally, Extension has this entitlement and works as intended.

Can be verified with:

codesign --display --entitlements - --xml /Applications/Transmission.app/Contents/PlugIns/QuickLookExtension.appex

Expected Entitlements:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
        <true/>
        <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Actual Entitlements:
