O$ 10.22 AppleScript Error (Not authorized to send Apple events to Calendar.)

[Mike Matthews - Omnis]

Hello All,

Some success on this point at last.  I used option 1 for a while, and the UK support came up with this fix, shown in item 2.

1 I used a TCC.db file from another user.  Works, but not a fix.

2 Add two lines to the info.plist file inside the Omnis Tree.  See below response:

On later versions of macOS there will be no prompt to allow access to the Calendar unless the following entry is added to the apps Info.plist file,

<key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
<string>Please provide access</string>

Without the prompt an entry is not added to the Calendar’s privacy settings which would allow Studio access.

The Info.plist file is located at,

/Applications/Omnis Studio 10.22 31840.app/Contents/Info.plist<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2f31840.app%2fContents%2fInfo.plist&c=E,1,okK1XEp_hsnvH-j1WLvDVW1SrMMhQAEm2yVJc6ZUFHi5liqxprhBTDBB5gMXH2iymLz6xCEKGmIxUN8B56VDGAuiftDzrPb--qnfto5oqwj2d27l&typo=1>

If this file is altered then the tree will need to be signed again.

Hello All,

An odd problem has arisen with new Macs and Monterey.  Just missed it until now really.  When I run and AppleScript to fetch events from iCal, I get a warning 'Not authorized to send Apple events to Calendar.’  I can launch iCal/Calendar however, but not control it.

This is the reported error text:
'Not authorized to send Apple events to Calendar.'

On my older Mac that is still using Intel chip and OSX 10.15, all is fine, but on newer M1, Monterey, I can’t seem to get the security setup right.

I have reset using 'tccutil reset AppleEvents’ so I get the prompt to allow security to be allowed, but the setting is not made.  Looking at the Calendars in Security & Privacy pane, no apps are shown.

Is this just me, or are others failing as well?

Begin text block
Text:tell application "iCal"(Carriage return)
Text:launch(Carriage return)
Text:end tell(Carriage return)
End text block


Get text block lvScript


Do $runapplescript(lvScript,lvResult,lvApplescriptError) Returns lvErrCode


If len(lvApplescriptError)
OK message {Encountered Error: [lvApplescriptError]}
Calculate lvFlagOK as kFalse
End If


If lvFlagOK
Begin text block
Text:tell application "iCal"(Carriage return)
Text:set theCalendarNames to name of every calendar(Carriage return)
Text:end tell(Carriage return)
End text block


Get text block lvScript


Do $runapplescript(lvScript,lvResult,lvApplescriptError) Returns lvErrCode
End If

Thanks
