Mac app to prompt user for Full Disk Access

Question

How can a Mac app (e.g. written in Shell or Python) verify whether it has Full Disk Access and, if it does not, prompt the user to add the app to Full Disk Access with a single button click (similar to the image below)?

For example, a URL formatted as x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy can open the Privacy settings on a Mac. Can something similar be created using Python?

I want this to be as user-friendly as possible, so I prefer not requiring the user to search for the 'Full Disk Access' window, then search through a list for the app, then have to select the app and add it to the allowed-list etc. etc.

Answer 1

This Python code will open Disk Access Preferences window. You can add a window to your program with something like: Please give me disk access. I promise to not delete your files. -App

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy')

You can open the Full Disk Access page directly like this:

webbrowser.open('x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_AllFiles')

See Open System Preferences/Privacy/Full Disk Access with url for the full list of targets.
