no apps showing up in security & privacy (microphone) #144

Open botigon opened 3 years ago

botigon commented 3 years ago

hello friends, I'm trying to request access with the microphone for the app "Logic Pro" and I'm running into the problem of it not recognizing the app (or any for that matter). I've added them to "full disk access" but no luck. (chrome won't open even with the new library validation disabler patch which I re installed just to make sure)..sadly I'm not very good with code so if you could explain for an idiot that would be much appreciated.

I got same issue, when i have installed cisco webex meeting, i cant use microphone and camera

The workaround for any app to get access to microphone and camera is by launching the app through Terminal which triggers requests for permissions to Camera and Microphone for "what is running in Terminal".

I did this with cisco webex meeting:

/Applications/Webex.app/Contents/MacOS/Webex\ Teams

After you run the app via terminal, you'll see a bunch of logs spill on the terminal which you can ignore, but you need to keep terminal running. You can minimize it but do not close it. Notice that Webex will start up, but more importantly, macOS will ask for permissions to the microphone and camera! Click "OK".

Terminal now has access to microphone and camera in the Privacy tabs instead of the specific app (in this case webex) but at least webex still has permission to use microphone and camera via terminal!
