solved Installing Alfred 4 on Ventura doesn't request Automation permission

[proggeo]

Hi team,

I have moved Alfred from my older Mac to a new M1 machine with Ventura installed. Everything works except for Terminal integration, both through `> ` keyword and workflows that attempt to open terminal. At no point does Alfred request Automation permissions and macOS doesn't allow manually adding application to 'Privacy & Security > Automation'. When I open Alfred Preferences > General > Request permissions > Open macOS Automation preferences, all I get is the same 'Privacy & Security > Automation' view where I can't change anything. I do know that other apps manage to request that permission, as Docker succeeded in getting iTerm permission.

On my older Mac, I granted that permission a couple years ago on an older version of macOS

Alfred 4.8 [1312]

macOS Ventura 13.2

Thanks for your help!

Generally speaking, permissions in Ventura are rather a mess. Have you tried rebooting and then trying again to grant Alfred permissions?

I have tried rebooting and requesting again and that didn't help

Sorry not to have helped - be patient. @vitor will probably come along with a better idea.

Thanks, Stephen. I've also tried using tccutil and restarting, it didn't work. It seems `sudo tccutil reset All com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred` doesn't do anything.

How’s your configuration in Alfred Preferences → Features → Terminal?

[proggeo]

Prefix: ">"

 

Application: Custom
 

on alfred_script(q)
	tell application "iTerm"
		activate
		do script q
	end tell
end alfred_script

 

I don't recall adding it, but maybe when I tried making it work years ago, this was needed

So I just went to https://github.com/vitorgalvao/custom-alfred-iterm-scripts and grabbed the latest script from there. Alfred did ask for the permissions and after I approved, everything works.

Thanks a lot for a quick response and guiding me to the right solution
