Configure OSX environment to point NSSearchPathDirectory.NSApplicationSupportDirectory somewhere else

I am building an app in a CI/CD environment on a Mac host. As part of this build, I need to run a command that writes to FileManager.SearchPathDirectory.applicationSupportDirectory, which is normally /Users/username/Library/Application Support/

The problem is that my build environment is a sandbox that prevents writing outside of /tmp. In the sandbox, $HOME is set to /tmp which most unix-y commands use to put their config files relative to $HOME (eg. $HOME/.git or whatever). But any Mac app that puts its files in FileManager.SearchPathDirectory.applicationSupportDirectory will not be relative to $HOME (which is now /tmp), it will be relative to /Users/username/Library/Application Support, which will fail in the sandbox.

On a Mac, how can I reconfigure FileManager.SearchPathDirectory.applicationSupportDirectory to point to a directory on the /tmp filesystem?
