macOS Sequoia adds weekly permission prompt for screenshot and screen recording apps

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/08/macOS-Screen-Recording-Prompt-3.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>With macOS Sequoia this fall (https://9to5mac.com/guides/macos-sequoia/), using apps that need access to screen recording permissions will become a little bit more tedious. Apple is rolling out a change that will require you to give explicit permission on a weekly basis to these types of apps, and every time you reboot your Mac.</p>

<p><strong>Update, August 7, 2024:</strong> Apple hasn’t commented on this change, despite an uproar from Mac users. On Mastodon, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@chockenberry/112922175155649837" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Craig Hockenberry[/url] points to a potential solution: the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_persistent-content-capture" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Persistent Content Capture entitlement[/url]. But as he succinctly puts it: “The issue here is that Apple has provided no documentation or any other guidance on how to get this entitlement.”</p>



<p>As far as I’m aware, this has also not been communicated to any developer who has proactively contacted Apple to ask about this pop-up in macOS Sonoma.</p>
