Error "Not authorized to send Apple events to Messages"

[matt (support)]

Did you see and follow the steps in my post above?

Yes, sorry, forgot to mention, but no popup (of course I replaced Spotify with Messages)

Okay, I'm not sure what else to suggest but I do believe we have this working better in the next release of Indigo (7.4.2 or 7.5.0). I don't yet have an ETA as to when it will be available, unfortunately.

Hello,

Does anybody has been able to make this work? I'm using Mojave but getting the following when trying to send a message:

Jul 7, 2020 at 12:36:21 AM

Any news so far?

Did you try the steps mentioned earlier in this thread? You'll want to replace "Spotify" with "Messages".

Hi Matt,

Yep... tried creating the script

Code: Select all

tell application "Messages"
end tell

Then running from an action group but no pop up... but the good news is, while I was typing this reply, I gave it another try with:

Code: Select all

tell application "Messages"
	set theBuddy to buddy "[email protected]" of service "iCloud"
	send "Hi there" to theBuddy
end tell

It gave me an error but opened the pop up... now it is working.

Did something similar with iTunes local control:

Code: Select all

tell application "iTunes"
	set sound volume to 40
	set EQ enabled to true
	play
end tell

And it worked as well in my Mojave.

Regards,

PP

Yeah, sorry, this was my bad. I discovered that you have to actually have the app do something before the workaround above works correctly. I was going to update the post (which I have now) but it just slipped my mind.

Awesome !
Worked.

Indigo 7.5 is now available and should avoid this macOS security snafu.
