Horos cannot launch Mail app on macOS Catalina #566

For macOS Catalina, scripts must have an automation privilege to run or they appear not to do anything. Messages in the Console output show they are blocked. This may impact more than the "Export to Email" function.

I used the "Export to Email" function all the time in the past, but suddenly it no longer works. After executing the function, the mail app opens, but nothing happens after that. Usually a new email was created and the selected picture attached. I use version 4.0.0 RC4.

I was able to reproduce your issue using Horos 4.0.0RC4 and macOS Catalina 10.15.4. When I run Horos from a Terminal, it requests a security privilege that is needed to allow Horos to "control" the email app.

A workaround for now is to run Horos from the Terminal:

1) Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app 2) Type "/Applications/Horos/Contents/MacOS/Horos" and click .

Now when you attempt to email a file, you will see a dialog asking you to allow Terminal.app which you to click "OK". This will add a privilege to allow Horos to access the Mail app via Terminal (you can disable this later in System Preferences - screenshot attached showing it enabled).

I will file an issue for this as Horos will need to request the privilege from within the code.

Looks like the entitlement can be added in Xcode: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_security_automation_apple-events?language=objc
