Input not working after upgrading app #12

Just installed 1.3 on my M1 Mini and while the app shows my surface dial is connected, turning or pressing the dial does nothing. It was working as designed before installing 1.3

Steps:
Install Mac-dial 1.3 from zip (replacing previous version)
Restart OS
Start Mac-dial
Select "Scroll mode" OR "Playback Mode"
Scrolling dial does not scroll safari page or adjust volume (respective of mode)

(I see "Surface dial 123456789ABC Connected" in the menubar dropdown)

What other information can I offer?

Reproduced with my other Mac and it seems to be some issue with permissions. As a workaround it can be resolved by going into settings -> security & privacy -> privacy and toggling the Accessibility permission off and on again for MacDial.

Toggling the Accessibility permissions worked, its now behaving as expected. Thanks, Andreas!

Simply toggling the permission did not resolve it for me. I had to remove MacDial from the permissions list and re-add it. After that 1.3 worked as expected.

Issue is this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29006379/accessibility-permissions-reset-after-application-update

Basically I don't have an official apple developer account so my "home brewed" builds ends up being blocked after the os detects new code. Unfortunately macOS does not notify the user so will have to do a workaround. Lets see if a self signed certificate will work.

Added some user guidance in 1.4, but keeping it open as it's still a very annoying issue.
