Still not working. With the .bib extension, BibDesk throws an error, so this 
preview template

\documentclass[man]{apa7}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=apa,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{<<File>>.bib}  
\pagestyle{empty}
\textwidth = 6.5in
% \voffset = -105pt
% \hoffset = -120pt

\begin{document}
\nocite{<<CiteKeys>>}    
\printbibliography
\end{document}

gives this log:

Without the .bib, the above template results in an empty preview without error 
with this log:
