after every update, authorization (screen and audio recording) is required
Flameshot Version
Flameshot v13.3.0 (88c951e) Compiled with Qt 6.9.2 darwin: 24.6.0 macos: 15.7.1
Installation Type
Using the ready-made package from Github Releases
Operating System type and version
macOS 15.7.1 and macOS 26.0.1
Description
After every update, I have to authorize the app in System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Screen & System Audio Recording.
This should not be necessary as long as the CFBundleIdentifier stays the same, which it has. None of my other apps (e.g. iTerm) require re-authorization, which actually means removing the app and adding it back manually.
Steps to reproduce
- install version 13.1.0
- authorize the app in System Settings to allow Screen & System Audio Recording
- install version 13.2.0
- app wants a new authorization when started
- (app needs to be removed from the list and re-added)
Screenshots or screen recordings
No response
System Information
MacBook Pro (no external display for this bug)
@tessus is this related to not being a signed application? I'm not really sure how to fix this if indeed CFBundleIdentifier is the field used in permissions because as you say we have not changed this.
This could be the case. I didn't know it wasn't signed. But yeah, that could be the reason.
I have a similar problem. Moreover, even after authorizing the app, I still get the pop-up on each application restart... To work around that, I need to completely remove the app from the authorization settings, and then re-launch and re-authorize it.
Came to report the same problem
Flameshot v13.3.0 (88c951e) Compiled with Qt 6.9.2 darwin: 23.6.0 macos: 14.8.2
Removing Flameshot from the "Screen & System Audio Recording" list, then adding it in again, fixes the issue (until the next upgrade, presumably)
I did exactly that (removing Flameshot (the program and the permissions), installing Flameshot, then readding the permissions for screen/audio recording), yet it still won't let me capture a screenshot. 13.2.0 and 13.3.0 both have this problem, hat to go back to 13.1.0, as this is the last version that works for me. (all 3 installed with the DMG file from github)
Macos 26.0.1 (25A362)
what happens if you do this:
codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Flameshot.app
@mer-at I have the same issue. Last working version is 13.1.0
Tried with img downloaded and with brew
