how do I grant reminders access?

[ebowman]

I installed the May 28 build (resolving #10), and when I run it, it tells me I need to grant reminders access. I can't figure out how to do this -- in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Reminders, it doesn't show up, and I don't see a way to manually add it. Was kind of hoping it would ask me to grant it permission when it runs, but it doesn't. I also tried building it from master, same problem. Thanks! (Running MacOS 10.15.7).

Running the tool for the first time should ask immediately and register it in the System Preferences menu

That's what I assumed, but that didn't happen. Curious if you have any other suggestions.

Can you paste the output you see when you run it?

@ebowman I managed to solve the issue. I was missing permissions to Reminders.app (Apple's) for my terminal app.

Hope it solves your issue.

Hi, I'm running yesterday's build of the reminders-cli. Although I managed to get it working from the commandline, I run into permission issues when the same script is run as a manually triggered "service" (built using automator) to a Finder folder. I get the following errors:

}
You need to grant reminders access

I already looked in the privacy panel and iTerm is listed (which is why it works from the commandline) but there's no way I can have my "service" (or anything else at all) added.

Any idea?

Digging in further showed me that my service is running as me / my user but where in Terminal the presented date is shown in Dutch, but when run from the service it is shown in English. Not sure whether this helps / is related but to me it is kind of strange.

I struggled with this for a while as well. As hinted elsewhere, you likely need to add the entitlements (Reminders) the reason to the Info.plist, e.g.:

<dict>
    <key>NSRemindersUsageDescription</key>
    <string>Export event information</string>
</dict>

@philip-iii to clarify which Info.plist are you talking about specifically?
