Microphone recording no sound when opened from Finder

[chidiwilliams]

When the app is opened from Finder on Mac (via double-clicking the app from Finder or opening from Spotlight Search), the recording stream returns arrays of all zeroes. But it works fine when the program is opened from the terminal (via python main.py or ./dist/Buzz.app/Contents/MacOS/Buzz).

It seems to work after signing a new version??

Finally figured it out 🤦🏾‍♂️

The second step of code signing overwrites the previous entitlement for requesting audio input. Fix is to add the audio permission to the entitlements.plist file

I'm getting the same issue using the latest release 0.5.2 on MacOS Monterey. If I open it through finder, it doesn't request Microphone permissions, but if I open the python app directly through the terminal, it spawns the GUI and requests Microphone access correctly.

Ah, I'll have a look at this

@transitive-bullshit, this should be fixed in the latest release https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz/releases/tag/v0.5.4
