MacOS Ventura can't give permissions (OpenCore)

Question

I'm using 2013 mac with OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I recently updated to the Ventura 13.3.1 and had no problem until i realized i can't give special permissions to the applications. When i try to use microphone and camera from the Chrome or some other app, it automatically blocks the application from using them. And when i try to give permission from the settings window, i navigate to the Settings/Privacy&Security/Camera, the screen just shows this text:

Applications that have requested access to your camera will appear here.

I tried everything i can find in the internet but couldn't solve it. Lastly i tried to give permissions with the help of tccplus but when i try to use it from the terminal, i get the error "zsh: permission denied ./tccplus".

I'd be appreciated if someone can help me with this issue.

Answer 1

This is how I got it fixed:

Download tccplus and let it run in terminal

https://github.com/jslegendre/tccplus/releases/tag/1.0

Next run in terminal

codesign -dr - (and drag and drop the app from finder)

So first find the app folder in finder where you see the app you want to assign permissions to and in Terminal type in “codesign -dr - “ (without the quotes of course) and drag the app e.g. Zoom or Teams and drop it right in the Terminal .

As result the path to the app wil be shown and press enter. Next hit enter and see the result:

Here:

codesign -dr - /Applications/Microsoft\ Teams.app

(result) Executable=/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/MacOS/Teams designated => identifier "com.microsoft.teams" and anchor apple generic and certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists / and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] / exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = UBF8T346G9 franknuninga@MacBook-Pro ~ %

com.microsoft.teams is the ID you need.

Next type in

cd ~/Downloads/ chmod +x tccplus ./tccplus add Microphone [identifier]

So in this case

cd ~/Downloads/ chmod +x tccplus ./tccplus add Microphone com.microsoft.teams

And hit enter

Terminal will return a confirmation.

Repeat the last command but replace Microphone with Camera

Answer 2

This is an OpenCore issue that's actually related to Apple Mobile File Integrity (AMFI), not SIP. Do not set SIP back to On or your computer won't boot. The macOS 13.3.x update broke a lot of things that worked in 13.2.x. I'd recommend joining the OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server to ask for help. They'll know exactly what you need to do. It may involve having to revert (or reinstall a fresh copy of) macOS 13.2.1 until other bugs can be worked out (that's what I had to do).

The instructions above with tccplus worked for me - but I couldn't enter the commands in one line in terminal. Instead when I got to this part I entered:

cd ~/Downloads/
chmod +x tccplus
./tccplus add Microphone [identifier]

I used these as [identifier]:

• us.zoom.xos for Zoom
• com.avid.ProTools for Avid's audio software Pro Tools

Also, be sure and leave tccplus in the downloads folder for this to work - I had moved it to the desktop and quickly realized my mistake.
