Hi @jmorganca, why does this app need Bluetooth, Camera, and Mic permission? All of this permission is listed on the info. list of the app. This app has quite minimalistic functions and runs in a CLI, I couldn't think of any necessary requirements for these permissions, please explain or if possible remove these permissions.

Hi @Aniruddha200, the macOS app is a standard electron app, and is definitely not using any of these permissions. I will make sure they get removed from the generated Info.plist file
