There are two new Security/Privacy Settings that I just noticed last night.
"Full Disk Access" to allow a program to access any place on your computer without a warning. A few programs requested this, so it looks like it's been around for a while.
The other one is "Developer Tools" and it looks pretty new. The only application requesting it is "Terminal". This "allows app to run software locally that do not meet the system's security policy". So, my reading of this is that in Terminal, you could run scripts that are unsigned and not be penalized speed-wise.

- oefrha 6y agoI don't see it on macOS 10.15.4 (19E287). The full list of categories on my Privacy tab: - Location Services - Contacts - Calendars - Reminders - Photos - Camera - Microphone - Speech Recognition - Accessibility - Input Monitoring - Full Disk Access - Files and Folders - Screen Recording - Automation - Advertising - Analytics & Improvements Granted I don't typically use Terminal.app (iTerm 2 user), so I launched terminal and did some privileged stuff. Had to grant Full Disk Access to, say, `ls ~/Library/Mail`, but "Developer Tools" never popped up. Are you running a beta build or something? --- Update: Okay, I checked on my other machine and that one does have it (Terminal is listed but disabled by default). What in the actual fuck?!?
- mbreese 6y agoMaybe if you ran Terminal.app once it would work? (I'm also on 10.15.4 (19E287))
- oefrha 6y agoNo, I played around with Terminal.app for quite a while already. Actually the category does show up on another machine of mine (see edit)... I suspected that maybe I never ran Xcode on the first machine since I upgraded to Catalina, so I launched Xcode, but again, no luck. I'm at a complete loss now.
- asdff 6y agoTerminal actually gives an error if you poke into the top level library folder with full disk access disabled, no prompt to change without me looking on stack overflow for the solution.
- Sangeppato 6y agoMaybe you need Xcode, try running "mkdir /Applications/Xcode.app"
- oefrha 6y agoAs mentioned in a reply to a sibling, Xcode has been installed (for like five years) on this machine, and launching it doesn't help. The next step would be to compile and run an application with it, which I haven't bothered.
- saagarjha 6y agoI would expect checks for Xcode to go through xcselect rather than a simple directory check. Installing the command line tools (sudo xcode-select --install) might actually be a better idea to test this.
- Sangeppato 6y agoI thought the same, but actually this method worked for me when I wanted the the Spotlight "Developer" option to show up (the CLT were already installed). I have the Developer panel under "privacy" as well, even if I never installed Xcode on my machine
- ken 6y agoFull Disk Access was added in 10.14 (2018), so it's relatively new.
- jhrmnn 6y agoI'm using the Kitty terminal, and observed the script launch delay described in the blog post. After adding Kitty to "Developer Tools", the delay disappeared. Thanks!
