Hello,

I followed the doc but I can't have my screen sources working.
I tried this solution -> #37 but it's not working for me.

OBS Studio never ask me for permissions even after I fully cleaned up(~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio).

I should have a lot of sources here:

And here my main screen isn't available:

I'm trying on a 2021 iMac M1.

That's very strange, as I can't reproduce this in the build I'm running. I'll try a new build and report back.

Okay, I was able to reproduce this. I have a workaround.

  1. Go to Security & Privacy. Navigate to the Privacy tab, then click on Screen Recording to the left.
  2. If sh is checked, uncheck it, then quit OBS.
  3. Check sh, then open OBS.

Why does OBS ask for permissions through sh?

The Mac app that gets built with these instructions aliases the OBS executable inside of /Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS to a shell script that opens OBS with some context. Consequently, this makes sh the parent process running OBS.

If this is an issue, use the experimental build.
