Hello all,

So I am working on our app that uses the Contacts database. Of course we need to ask for permission to access the database. In order to test this I need to reset the tcc database, using tccutil, however it does reset the system, so I cannot retest the ask for permissions.

I am running on 10.15.3 for the moment on two different systems. The app only exists in one location (I had an issue with this previously, but I seemed to fix it by ensuring there was only one copy of the app on the machine). Both machines do have SIP disabled (due to some other development that I regularly do that needs SIP disabled), but I did try reenabling it and reseting the database, but that did not work either.

When I looked at the tcc.db itself (getting desparate), I don't see either my app, nor the other apps that have AddressBook access.

I would really appreciate any help with this issue – it is getting very frustrating.

Thanks,

Scott Little

You should keep VMs for testing. Your developer machine is not good for such things.

This is helpful for testing and it is what I do. But VMS for the development cycle are difficult to use and not exactly what I prefer.

Besides this doesn't change the fact that a tool (tccutil) doesn't work the way it is suppose to.
