From c36ff7d8e46c75cfadea6f4c1f4eadb3aef37f2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xenodium Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 09:36:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Adds NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription to Info.plist.in Without this, we cannot launch processes that use macOS's speech recognition APIs. With NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription in place, macOS displays the dialog asking the user to grant permission and allows the speech APIs to be used from the process. * nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in: Add NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription key. (Bug#72827) * etc/NEWS: Announce the change.
