macOS Firewall Warning After Running Script #49

Closed Farhaduneci closed 3 months ago

Farhaduneci commented 3 months ago

Hey there, Thank you for your great script 💯

After running it on macOS, I receive a firewall warning stating that the Spotify app needs to accept incoming network connections. Could you please explain why this warning appears after executing the script and what should I do about it?

Thanks in advance!

I don't believe this is related to anything the script is doing. The script doesn't add anything to Spotify to cause new/different network connections. Selecting "Allow" should be all that is needed.

If the issue is that the pop-up continues to appear after selecting "Allow" -- This issue has been popping up for Spotify/macOS users for over 10 years... I assume it's a similar issue, but as you haven't filled out a proper bug report template, I've no information on system or setup specifics.

as the responses mention, it can be related to having multiple Spotify entries in your macOS keychain. If you happen to have old Spotify entries in your keychain you could try deleting them.

If still not having luck, perhaps try fully removing Spotify and all its data using the steps listed in troubleshooting wiki linked in the repo.
