JPackage and ask for microphone permissions broken on OSX...

[Filteredaccount1]

Hi Andy,

During the wait for JDK 18, would it be possible to describe on the bug ticket what manual workaround steps are required to apply to an existing jPackaged app for distribution both inside and outside the app store?

There are two info.plist files inside a jPackaged app. In my experience adding keys to both didn’t turn the ask microphone permissions on.

<key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key>
<true/>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>The application is requesting access to the microphone.</string>

Also, I raised at http://bugreport.java.com/ 9071230. So developer time isn’t wasted, could this be cancelled? (seems setup so the general public cannot).

Thank You,

Ben S.
