You do not have access to these locations from within a sandboxed app.
The recommended way forward is to use a container migration manifest to move files in these locations into your container. It is then your app's responsibility for presenting a user interface for managing these files.
An alternative is to request a temporary entitlement for the directories you wish to access, and then use getpwuid to find the user's home directory. You cannot consider this a permanent solution, and should consider offering the migration approach as an alternative (perhaps as an in-app process hiding behind a confirmation dialog).
