Accessibilty setting flakiness

Open herbenderbler opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Upon upgrading to 1.6.3, ShiftIt didn't recognize that I already enabled it within System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility.

Even though ShiftIt was already enabled here, I had to uncheck it, check it again, then click "Recheck" in ShiftIt. Upon doing this, all was well. I'm running this on OS X 10.10.3, if that's of any help.

This is a bit annoying I agree, but unfortunately, it will likely happen with every update. The problem is that the application checksum changes and due to strict security settings one has to do the whole process again as to prevent some malicious app taking over. Anyway, this should be better explained in the text in the dialog.

Work some accommodation for this in before 1.6.4, or is it not blocking that? Maybe just a heads up for it then, good to know that it'll be coming.

For me this issue happens whenever I quit and reopen ShiftIt.
