Accessibility Access

[Saboti]

Hi, I have the Problem that I can't enable the "Accessibility Access" for rift in my Mac. The Popup appears, but after i open the System Settings no Rift there since its a cli tool.
Any clues how i can enable it?

Thank you @acsandmann . Good find! I can confirm that the drag and drop approach is working.

1. Stop the Service
2. Drag and drop the bin file onto the Accessibility Tab List in the System settings Window.
3. Restart the Service.

They really borked this in 26.1 :/

I managed to make it work by dragging the binary to the accessibility list and it still didn't show up in the list but it works. I restarted the service and rift had the correct permissions and launched. What a weird bug to have.

Tahoe 26.3 Beta fixes the issue, you'll see rift binary in here ( I have them all, lol)

im shocked apple fixed this i was worried theyd stop letting non app bundled programs have ax permission but luckily that wasn't the case

How to you find the bin file to drag and drop??

[itouchdennis]

If you build it yourself you can build it e.g. in documents or so where you can pick it
Easily.

Or just set a symlink for your homebrew folder:

ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin ~/Documents/homebrewApps

And then go to documents homebrewapps and select the bin

not even dragging it works for me :c macOS 26.2

its fixed in 26.3 so i would recommend updating
