Access data from other apps shown over 40 times

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I open Cursor and throughout my usage of Cursor, the screenshot that I shared continues to pop up, and I have to every single time click on approve. It has done it over 40 times in this session alone.

Steps to Reproduce

Just open Cursor; it starts asking a bunch of times. Then, as I click on different areas, if I’m going to commit some files or whatever it is that I’m doing, anytime I click, that screen pops up five to ten times each time.

Expected Behavior

Exactly the opposite. I don’t need to be clicking on that for 40+ times.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, this is a known issue on macOS. It can pop up from time to time on different versions of Cursor.

A workaround that helps most users:

• Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access
• Make sure Cursor is enabled in the list. If it’s not, add it with the “+”
• Also check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation. If Cursor is there, try removing it and adding it again
• Restart Cursor

If the popup still shows up after that, let me know.

thanks Dean. I will let you know if it pops up again.
