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.
I do not really understand what that first step does. Intend to try this as well, but really, shouldn't Cycling try to tackle this problem? This makes making applications more or less useless. Or is it only certain people (like me) experiencing this problem?
