[macos] Persist granted permissions

[devidw]

Hey

I am getting this dialog after closing and reopening the macos app

Would there eventually be a way to have the app remember granted permissions?

I guess this is needed for the certificate file access

Thanks

This is the file access that is controlled by macOS and can be viewed through System Settings - Privacy & Security - Files & Folders

Hey @shockerli

Thanks for your answer

I can confirm that this perm is granted before app start up, but nevertheless etcq asks for it on every launch

[shockerli]

ETCQ automatically connects to each ETCD server each time it is started.

If the HTTPS connection certificate is set, file permissions are requested. You can check whether the three configuration items cert_file, key_file, ca_cert_file are empty, ETCQ config file path is ~/Library/Application\ Support/ETCQ/etcd.json

Yep that works fine - and i can confirm that the connection and the whole apps works great - also the config file is filled like it should

It's just a bit annoying that the permission needs to be granted on each app launch :D

[shockerli]

ETCQ does not collect any private data.

Currently, HTTPS connections directly use the certificate file path specified by the user. Therefore, when the application is launched and connects automatically, it does indeed access the file. The experience can be optimized in the future.

Gotcha, thanks for clarification, will keep this open - I guess we can close this when you eventually roll out a mechanisms to avoid prompting on each launch
