App keeps askig for accessibilityPermission even if accessibilityPermission: false

[krisdante]

const info = await activeWindow({
      accessibilityPermission: false,
      screenRecordingPermission: true,
    });

With this code, for some reason, the Electron app keeps asking for accessibility permission.
It keeps asking, even if both settings are false.

Is this some macOs 14.2.1 (23C71) miss-compatibility?

Why are those flags marked read-only in the interface?

Can you confirm you are on version 8.2.1?

[krisdante]

Yes I am

Hey! Sorry for the delay.

I ca confirm that even when setting accessibilityPermission: false, it is still prompting for accessibility permission when fresh installing active-win.

I've been using the locally compiled mac binary ever since my #180 was merged. I didn't realize it was still causing errors because mine was working fine. I ended up forking the repository and commenting out the code for the accessibility check to confirm that was the issue.

Do you think compiling locally could have played a role in this? My version is running smoothly without any problems.

Having the same issue (also using 8.2.1)

Thank you both very much for another awesome package and your contributions.

I can confirm this as well. Thanks for bringing this up; we were quite unsure if we've implemented it wrongly

I can confirm that compiling and running active-win locally (macOS Sonoma, Node 18) does not prompt for the accessibility permission (i.e., I set accessibilityPermission: false in the first active-win test case and no prompt is shown, setting it to true shows the prompt).

Is there any update on this issue?
@sindresorhus could you maybe have a look at this or give any pointers for a potential PR?

Friendly bump.
