Re: [chuck-users] Mojave/Catalina mic access issues

Hey David, Thanks for noting this for us- Im guessing theres some kind of whitelist if you used miniAudicle with audio input before upgrading to Mojave, as neither Ge nor I seem to be having this issue. Do you see "miniAudicle" listed under System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Microphone? If so, checking this box next its listing may work as a temporary fix while we pursue a permanent solution.

Scott, For the unskilled, do you have step-by-step instructions for the "easy workaround"?

In my own attempts, I have been (unsuccessfully) trying to alter the Info.plist to force it to prompt for Mic access.

Thanks,

PS - I’ve seen a version of this issue with Chunity and Unity when building games for MacOS and running them on Mojave or Catalina. There is an easy workaround that involves commenting out the mic setup stuff in the ChuckMainInstance (thanks Jack!), but I’m wondering if there may be other sticky issues…?

This looks promising for trying to manually convince the system that miniAudicle needs microphone access:

In OSX 10.14 and 10.15 the System Preference => Privacy settings now have a feature to control third-party access to the mic and camera. The problem my students are encountering is that miniAudicle doesn't show up as an identified app on the list, so they can't click the box to allow access, and thus they can't use adc in ChucK.

Is there either: a) a ChucK workaround? OR b) a system file or something to which miniAudicle can be manually added as a recognized app that uses the microphone?

Thanks,
