Claude Code users face macOS permission errors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of Claude Code on macOS are encountering an error message stating that permissions for computer use have not been granted, despite the user having explicitly allowed them. This issue stems from several potential causes, including granting permissions to the wrong application binary, the CLI only recognizing permissions at launch, or a mismatch between the CLI version and its helper files. Troubleshooting steps involve ensuring the correct binary is granted access, restarting the CLI, and verifying the presence of version-specific helper folders, with a workaround being to launch sessions from the Claude desktop app. AI
