Just installed the new macOS Catalina Beta.
OBS starts, shows the window for a split second before quitting.
I know its a beta, I'm not expecting everything to work. I just want to provide details so the developers can create a fix as quick as possible.
Log file attached

This is related to the new permissions in MacOS Beta

https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/pull/1760

They need to update the request for camera and microphone access. Otherwise it will kill the app.

How did you reach this conclusion? The OBS app bundle Info.plist already includes the appropriate entries for camera and microphone access. This was made a requirement in macOS Mojave.

The issue you linked is also for an unrelated repo... in November of last year. How could that be relevant to macOS Catalina?

Anyway, found a workaround for this. Use terminal to run
Code:
/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS
, and it will work.

EDIT: at least this works on 23.2 RC1. Haven't tried it with 23.1

Thank you so much for the workaround! This worked perfectly

Followed the Terminal method but now the OBS software will not recognize content on Display nor Window Capture.

Edit: seems like one needs to grant permissions When prompted to record screen and keystrokes to make it work. Still unstable since it crashes at times.
