Accessibility in macOS Ventura 13.4.1

Hey there!

I’m not sure if your symptoms match the author’s, but one thing you probably need to do with a command like that is to add Terminal to System Settings > Privacy and Security > Full Disk Access:

Change Privacy & Security settings on Mac - Apple Support

Hey again! Good to know.

This thread from another source has a few suggestions if you know how to follow them, although I can’t lend to the credibility or efficacy of them, plus it’s a few years outdated I believe:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/339078/cannot-add-any-apps-to-security-privacy-preferences-on-mojave

With few of the “solutions” mentioned there I think a few tests should be done first, namely testing this problem in a new admin account, it’s easy to create one for testing purposes, and it can easily be removed after it’s served it’s purpose:

Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

One of the other mentions is regarding SIP an Apple security feature. I’d also check to see if it’s enabled or not:

While holding Option on the keyboard, click the Apple menu on the top left and choose System Information.

While there, scroll down and click on the Software section, can you say what it says for System Integrity Protection?

Cheers.

If for no other reason but to keep the computer up to date which may or may not be related to the original question.

Suggest updating to the current version Ventura 13.5.1

There are several Bug and Security updated since 13.4.1

refer below

Apple security releases

Keep your Mac up to date

I also have this problem, and it has broken several applications. in the accessibility tab, I cannot add programs to the list. This happens for the screen recording as well. So I cannot even get a screen shot or properly use Zoom. I tried the reset command listed above ("sudo tccutil reset Accessibility") and receive a "Failed to reset accessibility" error. This all occurred immediately after the system upgrade yesterday. You can go through the motions of adding a program to the Privacy and Security panel, but nothing is ever added to the list.

Can't do that either, cannot add any application to any privacy and security setting. Click the plus icon, authenticate with password, select the program. Nothing ever gets added to the allowed list. All lists have been empty since the upgrade to 13.4.1

I'm not sure if it fits your situation, but in my case, apps that start with login made a problem.

I followed the solution provided by the following link, and it works well.

I started using "Delay start" app and have no more issues.

I hope this helps.
