Getting Zoom (etc) microphone permissions on an OCLP patched Mac

This took a couple of minutes to figure out, until I realized it probably had something to do with the fact that I have SIP disabled to run Monterey on my 2012 Mac mini. I would open Zoom and the app would pop up the usual window asking to grant it permission to access the microphone (or camera). Clicking through to open System Preferences would reveal a Security & Privacy pane with Microphone selected, but no apps listed to grant permission to, just: “Apps that have requested access to your microphone will appear here.” I tried the incantations I found elsewhere (tccutil reset Microphone, etc), but nothing got it going. Until I found tccplus. I downloaded this release from Github: https://codeload.github.com/jslegendre/tccplus/zip/refs/heads/master and the wrapper hotfix discussed here (direct URL) and ran tccplus Wrapper.app and let it download tccplus when prompted. 

Then it’s simply a matter of selecting which application you want to grant access to:

And then what access you want to grant it:

The command the wrapper will run will be something like this:

/Users/wingedgeek/Library/Application Support/tccplus Wrapper/tccplus' add Microphone  com.microsoft.teams


And voila, the app appears in the Security and Privacy pane:

I could have also done this manually from the command line, using grep to identify the application bundle ID (in this example, for the Zoom desktop client, it’s us.zoom.xos):

% grep 'BundleIdent' -A 1 /Applications/zoom.us.app/Contents/Info.plist 

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>us.zoom.xos</string>


 % ./Library/Application\ Support/tccplus\ Wrapper/tccplus add Camera us.zoom.xos 

Successfully added Camera approval status for us.zoom.xos
