Tip: opening OSX Privacy and Security prefs using launch URL

Surfacing this tip at top level of forum for greater visibility...

From this post https://www.felix-schwarz.org/blog/2018 ... cos-mojave I found that opening this URL will take user directly to the automation pane in security and privacy.

It works in Livecode:

Code: Select all

launch url "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_Automation"
This is a useful tip for anyone building apps that need user to grant permissions, as it will take them directly to the right place to review.
