We have special use case, We have two apps, App A (Electron) and App B (Swift). App B when run independently works completely fine but when bundles with App A and shipped as dmg, App B doesn't prompt for microphone permission anymore. What can be issue? What's right way to ship both app together such that App B is hidden and launched through App A only? How can I figure out what changes after App B is bundled and comes with App A. Even if I produce dmg of App A and install it on same system, App B doesn't ask for microphone permission anymore.

First things first, I recommend that you test this stuff on a ‘clean’ machine, one that’s never seen your app before. If you test this on your development machine, it’s very easy to get confused as the system caches state from one run to the next.

I usually do this on a VM, restoring the machine from a snapshot between each test.

If you construct your product in the obvious way — app B nested within app A — and then repeat your test on a clean machine, what do you see?
