[Interest] OSX security – allow dialogue

[Alexander Carôt]

P.S.: see below – in that regard I compiled the camera example (Qt6.2) and ran it via clicking on the app icon (rather than running it from the console which per se has cam access). Also here it did not ask for allowing cam access and then the app crashed. Can anyone reconstruct this ?

> When I deploy a new release of my software (which uses audio and video capture) after installation on a user's machine it asks for  permissions to access the mic and the camera. When not enabled sound capture does not work and video even crashes – when enabled all is fine. So this dialogue is really important to the user.
