Alexander, You will need to code sign the app with entitlements to solve this issue otherwise it will never ask you permission, it will just crash.
To do this, create a xml file with the following content. I’ve called it entitlements.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.camera</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Then you need to code sign your bundle: codesign --options=runtime --entitlements $$PWD/entitlements.xml --deep BUNDLE_NAME.app -s \"Developer ID Application: YOUR_TEAM_NAMEΩ (YOUR_TEAM_ID)\" && \ This will prevent the app from crashing when trying to access the camera. If you want the OS to prompt authorisation to use the camera before actually opening the camera you need to trigger that using something like this: void CameraManager::requestCameraUsagePermission() { if (@available(macOS 10.14, *)) { switch([AVCaptureDevice authorizationStatusForMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo]) { case AVAuthorizationStatusAuthorized: _isCameraUsageAllowed = true; break; case AVAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined: dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [AVCaptureDevice requestAccessForMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo completionHandler:^(BOOL granted) { if (granted) { setIsCameraUsageAllowed(true); } else { setIsCameraUsageAllowed(false); } }]; }); break; case AVAuthorizationStatusRestricted: _isCameraUsageAllowed = false; break; case AVAuthorizationStatusDenied: _isCameraUsageAllowed = false; } } else { _isCameraUsageAllowed = true; } } You will also need to have the permissions strings declared on the Info.plist: <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> <string>This app makes use of camera during session with other peers</string> <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key> <string>This app makes use of microphone or audio input during sessions with other peers</string> I would also recommend notarising your app so you don’t have warnings from the system saying that it is not secure when opening. You never have this warnings when running on the computer you are developing. Only on other machines I hope this helps!
