Audio input does not work on MacOs versions.

[rkarikari]

Hello,

I'd like to bring the following to your attention.

Rx device "Audio" does not work until the following lines are included ... at the end of the info.plist file.

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key> 
<string>This app requires microphone access to receive signals</string>

I have had to make this edit on every version upgrade since v 14.x
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this.

My OS version is Monterey 12.6.8

Sometimes I need to reset the microphone permissions as well ....

tccutil reset Microphone com.f4exb.SDRangel

Thank you so much .

It seems the problem was reported on the mailing list sometime ago: https://groups.io/g/sdrangel/topic/74229711#

Just trying it here, however, I have the same problem as Fabio, in that the above doesn't help - Microphone permission is only granted if SDRangel is run from the terminal, not from Finder. However, I'll add a patch to add that key in to Info.plist anyway, as it seems to be required. I'll also add camera and location.

Possibly need to request permission, as mentioned here: https://www.mail-archive.com/interest@qt-project.org/msg31897.html

Seems Qt only has an API for this from 6.5: https://www.qt.io/blog/permission-apis-in-qt-6.5

So may need some objc code - yeuck
