GitHub Runner (node) and DropDMG

DropDMG

Hi, We love using DropDMG but it’s becoming a pain within our GitHub pipeline. Everytime we update and run the job we get the message:

Error: Error -1743/errAEEventNotPermitted. The app that is running “dropdmg” needs permission to control DropDMG. You can grant this from System Settings ‣ Privacy & Security ‣ Automation (https://c-command.com/dropdmg/help/granting-automation-acc). If you are trying to control DropDMG from Xcode, please see this page for a workaround: https://c-command.com/dropdmg/help/command-line-tool

We’ve tried everything record in the documentation. Still it doesn’t work or we don’t get a question asking for permission.
It used to work on macOS 15 but no longer on Tahoe. What can I do? I’m out of options.

Cheers,

Jasper

Were you able to use the command:

automationmodetool enable-automationmode-without-authentication

?

Yes but it would still fail. I managed to get it working on Tahoe by using the osascript command.
I’ve update our macOS15 build machine to 15.7 and am also running into the same issue. Trying the applescript way there as well.

I have to say that gitlab-runner works way better than GitHub’s runner.
