Operating Systems

Server: macOS 10.14.6

Client: macOS 10.15.3

Barrier Version

Steps to reproduce bug

This was an issue on my 10.15 machine, but not on 10.14.

I installed Barrier via homebrew, brew install homebrew/cask/barrier.

Upon starting it for the first time, the Accessibility settings dialog came up and wanted me to add sh to the list of applications. I could not start Barrier without doing so.

So I added /bin/sh to the list by clicking on the plus button, and it worked; Barrier started without any problems after that.

I'm creating this bug ticket because it seems a little strange, and on my 10.14 machine, it correctly asked me to add "Barrier", and it was also shown on the list of apps without having to add it with the + button.

Would like to add that, in addition to this, if you download Barrier-2.3.2-Release.dmg from the release page and try to run it, with the default macOS security settings, you are not able to launch barrier due to macOS being unable to verify that the .app does not contain malware.
To get around this, you have to control + click the .app and then click open, and then open is an option in the security prompt.
After all of this, you have to do what is indicated in @fredsted 's issue above, adding /bin/sh to the allowed Accessibility apps.
This is using 10.15.3.

This was fixed in newer builds with #487. You can download newer builds from Azure Pipelines until they make another release version.
