preflight-permissions

To prevent macOS XCUITest UI tests from hanging on permission dialogs, you can run a preflight permissions skill that detects required TCC permissions, creates a signing certificate, and guides you through granting access before automated journeys.

macOS UI tests fail silently because they hang on TCC permission dialogs like 'access data of other apps' without preflight preparation. Automating permission detection and granting access via System Settings beforehand ensures tests run smoothly without silent failures.

Automate TCC permission setup for macOS UI tests by scanning entitlements to detect required permissions, building the app with a deterministic derived data path, launching it to register for TCC, and automatically navigating to relevant System Settings panes for approval.

Yes, preflight permissions is designed for new macOS projects using XCUITest. It satisfies requirements for certificate management, project.yml updates, deterministic builds, permission detection, automatic Settings navigation, smoke verification, and a final readiness report.

The best way to handle code signing for automated macOS UI tests is creating a self-signed signing certificate and configuring the project to use it. This ensures deterministic builds to a predictable derived data path for consistent test execution.

You need to configure TCC permissions before running macOS automated tests when your app requires access to protected resources. Preflight permission handling detects required TCC permissions by scanning entitlements and code usage, then guides you through granting each permission via System Settings.
