[Bug]: <Microphone Permission on macOS Sonoma>

[SquareCircle99]

What happened?

Hello all again!
I'm actually not certain if this bug is the fault of macOS itself or if it has to do with M3, but I figured I'd ask.
Whenever we play a piece of media that has audio on M3 and then share the screen through Zoom, macOS will display a popup stating "Meeting Media Manager would like to access your microphone."

We click OK but the popup keeps coming back every time we share something despite the fact that the application has already been whitelisted as can be seen on the picture

I tested the same scenario (sharing a piece of media with audio through Zoom) with JWL instead of M3 and the popup never appeared.
To makes matters a little more bothersome, the popup prevents media playback until it has been dismissed; which requires clicking "OK" several times for some reason.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

To Reproduce

1. Play a piece of media that has audio (video, song, etc) on M3
2. Share the screen through Zoom, click "share audio" checkbox

What did you expect to happen?

For the popup to not appear.

Version

v23.8.1

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Hi @SquareCircle99, that's a weird one! I'm also not sure who's to blame for this.

So in other words, try this:

• quit M³
• remove the microphone permission completely
• relaunch M³

If that doesn't fix the issue, try this:

• open Terminal
• run the following command: codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Meeting Media Manager.app (make sure to use the correct path)

Thanks guys!

I'll give this a shot and report back.

Forcing things via the Terminal worked!! The popup only came up once and then disappeared for good as it's supposed to.
In order to get the command to work however I actually had to rename M3 to something else as running it as "Meeting Media Manager.app" kept giving me the "no such file in directory" error message.

I wonder if this is only an issue with Sonoma 🤔 If so, it might be worth it to add a note to the installation docs.

Docs updated.

The terminal command solved my issue. Thanks!
