Mac build rejected due for requesting for Accessibility Access for keystrokes

    Our Mac build was rejected for the following reason.

    Guideline 2.4.5(v) - Performance

    We noticed the game is requesting for Accessibility Access for keystrokes from any application, which is not appropriate.

    This is new guideline introduced by the apple for compatibility with their new OS 10.15 (Catalina)

    We are not sure for where these API’s are being called as we are not calling this explicitly in our code. We are not sure whether the Unity itself adds this to the build.

    Does any one has faced similar issue?. Is there any workaround for disable this ?.

    Our game is built on Unity version 2018.2.11.

    Sadly I don't think there is a way around this, we did fix this issue in 2018.4 LTS so if you could verify against that version that would be great.

    Is there any possible workaround for this for pre 2018.4??
    Our macOS project is still in 5.6.4, and we're in the process of converting to 2018+ but nowhere near ready yet- and we have a critical bugfix to submit but are blocked because of this weird permission request.

    Should this be alright with 2017.4 LTS?

    We are stuck in version 5.6.6f2 and can not update our apps on Apple's AppStore. This error message also comes with a hardened runtime. Is there a solution?

    We use the 2018.4.5f1 version, still this problem, is there another solution? My MacOS version is 10.15 and the Xcode version is 11.1

    In the same boat with 2018.2.9f1, will see if the 2018.4 upgrade will resolve it.

    We use version Unity Player version 2019.2.3f1 (8e55c27a4621) and this problem is urgent.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Answer from AppStore:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Guideline 2.4.5(v) - Performance

    Your app requests admin access from the user during operation.

    Specifically, your app is asking access to keystrokes.

    Resources

    To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to confirm that you are using:

    - NSEvent.addLocalMonitor
    rather than
    - CGEvent.TapCreate.

    In addition, it would be appropriate to remove IOHIDCheckAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent) for accessing the user’s keystroke under Privacy, as apps with this feature are not appropriate for the App Store.

    Maybe who knows the version where this problem is exactly solved?

    I just ran into this with a 5.6.7f1 based game and I don't see any solutions anywhere.

    Is there an entitlement or something we need to set?

    you have to upgrade your project to the latest Unity3D version. It is not possible with Unity 5.6.7f1.
