Always prompting for Accessibility Permissions #7

I am using release 1.0.2 on macOS 13.6.3. I had to remove the quarantine extended attribute to be able to run the app.

I have it added to Finder and have allowed permissions for Accessibility, as well as Automation permissions for Finder, System Events, and System Settings. Every time I run the app (either manually or via Finder), I get the below alert saying to enable Accessibility Permissions. A new file does get created, but the alert is really disruptive.

The alert looks strange with the ? mark symbols, is this a macOS bug?

I solved this by adding .app file in privacy settings image

I managed to get it fixed, but I had to give Script Editor Accessibility permission. I was able to do this by running the New File.applescript from the repo in Script Editor. Then after I allowed it, using the New File.app worked correctly. I guess the Script Editor is getting invoked somehow.
