Standalone App Microphone Permission

[antvopilov]

Hello! I'm trying to build a standalone app for recording Microphone audio, which uses the "pyaudio". However, after creating the application and launching it, the macOS does not ask for permission to use the microphone. At the same time, the launch of the console application is successful . What am I doing wrong?

You have to add a key to the info.plist file to ask for permission, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/capture_setup/requesting_authorization_for_media_capture_on_macos for details.

Something like this should work (untested):

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    ...
    options={
       "py2app": {
          "plist": { 
            "NSMicrophoneUsageDescription": "Application captures audio"
          }
      }
   }
)
