MetaGrid Server Asking for Permissions

Hello, since updating to the current version of MetaGrid server, each time I restart my Mac it asks me to grant permission to metagrid server. I already did and doe some reason it’s not seeing it. It works fine when I dismiss the dialog and preferences. Is this a known bug?

@laudmusic - can you please do the first steps:

We are working with Apple on this - that’s related with our auto-update failure for MetaServer - MacOS sees MetaServer as another application and doesn’t remember the permissions once granted by the user when you overwrite the application in the Applications folder.

I have the same problem since updating to 5.3.2686.
Whatever i trigger, it sais: “MetaServer would like to control this computer using accessibility features.”
I open the system settings to find Metaserver being enabled to access. De- and reactivating does not help, deleting and reinstalling did neither.

Latest Mac OS (on MBPro M4), MetaGrid 1.6.11. (Build 34169).

There seems to be no workaround here for me, did not find a way to use it anymore.

Kind of desperate here as i cannot use Metagrid anymore due to the Metaserver problem mentioned above.

Is there anything i can do?
Metagrid is deeply integrated into my professional workflow and i´m really missing it. Losing a lot of time here due to unnecessary mouse actions etc.

Thank you very much

Metaserver version is 3.2.0, build 2858 (not 2686, my mistake).

Can you please update to MetaServer 5.3.1? And if the issue repeats, remove MetaServer from the Accessibility list in Settings > Privacy and Security and manually add it again with the plus sign. Let me know if it worked.

I´d love to upgrade Metaserver!

Where can i find version 3.1?
”Check for updates” sais i´m on the most recent version and those two locations do not seem to offer it:

What am i typing here?
Metaserver version is 5.3.0, 2858… (this time all numbers are correct)

Update: removing and re-adding Metaserver 5.3.0 did work.
No idea why, have tried it before.

So for now i´m saved :slight_smile:
Thanks
