MacOS – Bluetooth app with XAMPP permission problem in Mac OS 11

bluetoothmacosPHPprivacyterminal

I using a web GUI for controlling some Bluetooth devices. I use PHP shell_exec command to run our created Bluetooth terminal app. My fiction was work until Mac OS 11.

My customers upgrade Mac OS 10.15 to Mac OS 11. Apple added Bluetooth in Security Privacy settings.

I tried our terminal app, it is running. But it wanted to add Terminal app Bluetooth in Security Privacy settings

I tried add httpd in Bluetooth in Security Privacy settings. But it does not work

The way to setup this depends on how exactly you're running PHP. It can be run in various ways such as for example inside httpd in an Apache module, as a CGI executable or through a process manager such as FPM.

The important thing here is that you must give the Bluetooth privileges to the process or parent of the process (or grandparent, etc.) that is actually running your PHP code.

For example that could be your php-fpm daemon in a FPM setup.

If the path includes spaces, you're going to need to quote it.

Your line export PATH=/Users/ps1/Documents/PS 1/whatever-else/:$PATH causes Bash to interpret the PATH=/Users/ps1/Documents/PS part as the full first argument to your PATH—telling export to set the PATH to only the section before the space. If you use export "PATH=/Users/ps1/Documents/PS 1/whatever-else/:$PATH", it will interpret the entire PATH=/Users/ps1/Documents/PS 1/whatever-else/:$PATH as part of the first argument. By convention, most people only quote the right side of the equals sign, because it looks nicer, it's the only thing that needs quoted, and bash automatically concatenates strings with no spaces between them.

Osascript is not allowed assistive access. (-1728)

If you run AppleScript code via osascript in Terminal, then you need to add Terminal to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility, to allow it assistive access.

I took your code, saved it to a file named testcode and made it executable using chmod. I then ran it in Terminal and received the following error:

./testcode:157:286: execution error: System Events got an error: osascript is not allowed assistive access. (-1728)

I then added Terminal to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and ran it again. It then processed the script properly and returned:

radio button Login Items of tab group 1 of window Users & Groups of application process System Preferences

It of course opened the System Preferences to that target.
