When I run the game on macOS from the terinal, RustRover and the compiled binary.

What went wrong

It works but macOS asks for microphone permission.

Does this happen with Bevy examples?

tsukinoko-kun commented 2 months ago

I tried volumetric_fog and it happened there too.

can't reproduce on my Mac

janhohenheim commented 2 months ago

I can remember running into this while running Foxtrot on my macOS, which surprised me. I'll check if I can reproduce this with the given example.

janhohenheim commented 2 months ago

I can confirm I can reproduce the bug. I thought I couldn't at first, but then realized that I already had disallowed my terminal to use the microphone, so no new popup came up. Steps to reproduce:

compile volumetric_fog on main
download a fresh iTerm2, because a new app doesn't have any previous security and access settings on my machine
run the previously compiled example on iterm (ignore the path not found errors, that's because I switched branches):

results in:

My machine:

From experience, I know that at least Foxtrot asks for the same permission when setting it up as a regular graphical app without running it in the terminal.

Update: I found a relevant thread on Discord from a year ago. Something about permissions being weird when info.plist is missing.

bash commented 2 months ago

I used tccutil to reset the microphone permission for the terminal app. That way the permission prompt shows up again when I run a bevy app (cargo run --example volumetric_fog on main).

By resetting the permissions before running a bevy app I can get the prompt to consistently show up.

For macOS' Terminal the command is tccutil reset Microphone com.apple.Terminal. Alternatively for WezTerm: tccutil reset Microphone com.github.wez.wezterm

I managed to narrow this down to the function default_output_device in cpal which gets called via AudioPlugin → AudioOutput::default → OutputStream::try_default.

cpal::default_host().default_output_device();

Marking as blocked since this seems like a cpal issue then. Unless we can pass some magic parameters.

Is there an upstream issue for this?
