#60849: emacs-mac-app: Doesn't pop up permission consent dialogs under MacOS
Catalina

-----------------------+---------------------------
 Catalina is a lot fussier about security than prior versions of MacOS. In
 general, when an application needs a particular permission, a pop-up box
 appears asking you to go to Settings and confirm, but this doesn't happen
 with emacs-mac-app. For most permissions, this isn't a problem as you can
 add the application manually, but I specifically need to give Emacs access
 to Automation, and there is no way to add it manually - it needs to be
 done by responding to the consent dialog, only this doesn't appear.
