Contacts

[hspagnolo]

Hello,

I have updated with the latest version, but when using the List Contacts, I get the following: [ERROR] You have declined access, so you will not get any contacts. To reset permissions, type 'tccutil reset AddressBook' in a Terminal window, and restart Strukt.

I have done the reset into the terminal, but nothing has changed. And it is impossible to add manual Strukt into the Contacts access into the System Preferences.

Thanks and regards Henri

Hmm, that's strange. It works for me here (though looking back, maybe "tccutil reset AddressBook" isn't the best solution in this case).

I'd like some more information to try to track this down:

• What version of macOS are you running?
• Has this worked for you in the past? Did you happen to notice it stop working with a Strukt upgrade, or a macOS upgrade?
• Does Strukt appear in the System Preferences (Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Contacts) list? Is the checkbox next to Strukt checked? Does checking that box help? Or if it's checked, unchecking and then re-checking it?

Thanks for the report!

I don't know why this would be happening. My understanding is that applications will appear in that list if they attempt to use the Contacts API, and Strukt's "List Contacts" does that -- that's what the error message in the log is in response to.

The newest version, Strukt 1.6.3, has a handy button that takes you right to the System Preferences. It doesn't have any change that ought to matter, but you could try again with the new version.

I have one last idea for how to troubleshoot this that I'll try...

Thanks Ken,

As soon as available, I will keep you informed.

Hi Ken,

I just install 1.6.3 and I have seen the handy button and I go to the System Preferences, but Strukt is still not listed into the Contacts and/or Calendar permissions and no way to add it manually.

Normally user should receive a system message asking if he authorize Strukt to access/control Contacts and Calendar

Hi Ken,

Me again, I am not a developper (I was long time ago, but long long....), but maybe related to this:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/cncontactstore/1402873-requestaccess

Thanks and regards Henri

Hi Henri! By my reading of the documentation, it shouldn't be necessary to call that, especially when running on a background thread. Presenting a (blocking) dialog box is fine with me, which is what it says it will do. It works that way on both of my Macs.

Interestingly, the corresponding requestAccess() method in EventKit is (according to its documentation) required, and Strukt does call that. Do the Strukt operations "List Calendars" and "List Calendar Events" work as you expect? Does the app appear in the Confidentialité list for Calendriers?

I'll add that to my list of things to investigate, anyway. Thanks for the tip.

[hspagnolo]

Hi Ken, No both functions does not work and Strukt is not listed into the Confidentialité list for Calendars and Contacts. For what I have seen since Mojave is the fact that if an app do not ask to request access (for Contacts, Calendars, Alarms, Photos, etc), then it won't work. Normally a dialog box like the one attached (see screenshot) should appears once (for contacts and another for Calendars)

Regards Henri

I've confirmed that Mojave has made some security-related changes (which seem to be undocumented) that break the Contact and Event operations. Still looking for a fix.

[kengruven]

After much research and experimentation, I found the secret switch I need to make this work in Mojave! Expect a 1.6.4 update very soon which fixes this.

In my defense, it wasn't in the API documentation, or the release notes, and it doesn't even work the same as the WWDC talks said it would. This was a pretty crazy one to track down.

Hi Ken,

Great that you solved the problem 😀. Will wait the new release.

Regards Henri

[hspagnolo]

Hi Ken,

It works now. Great. Thanks you.

Regards Henri

[kengruven]

Great! Let me know if there's anything else funny in Mojave that I need to check out.

[hspagnolo]

Hi Ken,

I just install the new version from the MAS (1.7.0) and I use Catalina 10.15.4

Every time I press "enter" to validate the data entering, Strukt crash (eg, I add "List Files", then "folder", I type the folder name, then press "enter")

See the crash log.

Thanks and regards Henri

Hi Henri. Please open new bug reports for new issues. Also, I cannot see any crash log.
