 I noticed the following problem with the latest macOS 10.15.5 (maybe with
 some others minor release):

 using {{{PortGroup app 1.0}}} and {{{app.privacy_microphone yes}}} the pop
 up that request the permission doesn't show up.

 The problem seems related to the fact that the {{{CFBundleExecutable}}} is
 a symbolic link like in the following example:

 {{{/Applications/MacPorts/piHPSDR.app/Contents/MacOS/piHPSDR ->
 /opt/local/bin/pihpsdr}}}.

 Copying the binary into {{{software.app/Contents/MacOS/}}} or making an
 hard link resolve the issue.

 Someone else noticed the problem?
 How can we solve this issue? using hard link?
