I assumed it was like iOS permissions and probably LC will need to add to the OSX standalone setting tab a list of permissions you have to check off for your app, but I have not taken the time to research what needs to be done to prevent such warnings. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

True, but only because you can't give Apple its cut unless the app is signed. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On October 25, 2019 8:38:13 PM Richard Gaskin via use-livecode wrote: hh wrote: > The new security hystery will surprise you every few > minutes when you really work on that OS.

Re: Weird macOS error dialog
Thanks, Jacque. Looking into this more deeply I believe it's not triggered by LC itself, but by a companion app my client has written. I'll suggest they sign that to make that abstract annoyance go away. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Jacqueline Landman Gay wrote: Weird macOS error dialog J.
