The problem is that if you inadvertently answered “No” the first time it asked for permission, there is no realistic way to fix that short of re-installing the whole OS from scratch or some other similar major redeployment of the operating system.
I settled on a workaround whereby I call the script through a Keyboard Maestro macro. The script works fine if it is initially called external to DT3.
Hmmm I did figure out the work around by manually running the script. I’m stunned that it would take a OS reinstall to resolve this issue. It’s a permissions issue and that should be something can be corrected.
Perhaps when I upgrade MacOS to the next version it’ll fix the issue.
It’s a permissions issue and that should be something can be corrected.
It’s not merely “a permissions issue”. It’s deeper than that and Apple has not made any convenient or user-friendly way to change your decision on some of the Security preferences.
For now the only workaround short of an erase and fresh install of your OS appears to be executing the script from external to DT3, such as a Keyboard Maestro macro.
This is not a DEVONtech issue. It’s a combination of a User denying a request from an application and Apple not providing a way to undo that choice. Even worse, the Terminal commands that can be tried also don’t work to reverse this choice.
Thanks for the Informations. I already tried to undo this with the Terminal but it doesn‘t work. Hopefully there will be a fix from Apple or maybe another way from DT without using Keyboard Mastro or any other external App.
I am positive Apple is aware of the issue. It’s not specific to us. It’s a general operating system flaw.
PS: Notifying Apple is no guarantee of anything.
