standalone microphone permission dialog macOS 15.5 Sequoia

Hello fellows,

I am trying to create a standalone on a MacMini which has to start automatically. I am using a soundcard and have to switch on a dac~ with 6 outputs.

Any time the standalone application asks 3 times for microphone permission at start.

At the preferences under privacy a new enty is generated where i am able to allow the standalone to use the microphone. I think that an audio input is meant.

I would expect that next time I start the standalone no microphone permission windows would appear.

But unfortunately the opposite is the case. Always 3 times for microphone permission at start.

This is a show stopper for my use case ....

For the Max application itself everything is fine. Once I allowed the microphone input, I will never asked again. Perhaps it has something to do, that the standalone is not from a "trusted" developer? I am not an MacOS expert ...

Perhaps someone has already solved this problem.

Any help is welcome!

My system is: M4 Mac Mini, macOS 15.5 Sequoia, Max 8.6.5

Thanks in advance,

petcode

hello all,

found a solution. perhaps interesting for others who want to make a standalone with mic input.

did the following:

1) disable the orange dot on external displays

2)sudo xattr -cr path_to_your_standalone.app

3)codesign -s - -f path_to_your_standalone.app

Then the first start asks for the mic permission. From the second start on, you will not asked again.

Thanks Apple :-)

Here is a good explanation how to disable the orange:

To disable the privacy indicator on secondary screens:

Start up your Mac in recovery mode (not as scary as it sounds! Don’t worry!) Here are Apple’s directions for Apple Silicon-based Macs and here are the directions for Intel-based Macs.

Once in recovery mode, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu.

Enter this command: system-override suppress-sw-camera-indication-on-external-displays=on

Quit Terminal.

Chose Restart from the Apple menu. Your Mac will restart in normal mode.

Once your Mac has restarted, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. There will be an option to turn off the privacy indicator. Turn it off.

Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera. There will be an option to turn off the privacy indicator. Turn it off.
