Install

cargo add tauri-plugin-macos-permissions

You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

Usage

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
+       .plugin(tauri_plugin_macos_permissions::init())
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

src-tauri/capabilities/default.json

{
    ...
    "permissions": [
        ...
+       "macos-permissions:default"
    ]
}

If you need to access the microphone or camera permissions, please update src-tauri/Info.plist：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
     ...
+    <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
+    <string>Describe why your app needs to use microphone permission</string>
+    <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
+    <string>Describe why your app needs to use camera permissions</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:

import { checkAccessibilityPermission } from "tauri-plugin-macos-permissions-api";

const authorized = await checkAccessibilityPermission();
console.log(authorized); // true
