Flameshot v13.3.0 (88c951e)
Compiled with Qt 6.9.2
darwin: 24.6.0
macos: 15.7.1

Installation Type

Using the ready-made package from Github Releases

Operating System type and version

macOS 15.7.1 and macOS 26.0.1

Description

After every update, I have to authorize the app in System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Screen & System Audio Recording.
This should not be necessary as long as the CFBundleIdentifier stays the same, which it has. None of my other apps (e.g. iTerm) require re-authorization, which actually means removing the app and adding it back manually.

Steps to reproduce

1. install version 13.1.0
2. authorize the app in System Settings to allow Screen & System Audio Recording
3. install version 13.2.0
4. app wants a new authorization when started
5. (app needs to be removed from the list and re-added)

Screenshots or screen recordings

No response

System Information

MacBook Pro (no external display for this bug)

@tessus is this related to not being a signed application? I'm not really sure how to fix this if indeed CFBundleIdentifier is the field used in permissions because as you say we have not changed this.

[tessus]

This could be the case. I didn't know it wasn't signed. But yeah, that could be the reason.

I have a similar problem. Moreover, even after authorizing the app, I still get the pop-up on each application restart...
To work around that, I need to completely remove the app from the authorization settings, and then re-launch and re-authorize it.
