Hi,
Since I updated my MacOS to 15.2, the screen being accessed privacy warning which was like a button in menu bar has been changed to a popup (image below). It is being shown every time I switch between windows. It's driving me crazy 😫 .

Not only it's distracting, it hovers over contents for a couple of seconds every time, makes it impossible to reach (click) whatever there is.

I know logically this is expected. I wanted to know if there is any way that this popup goes away and the privacy warning would be shown in the menubar like before ?

Go to https://github.com/luckman212/screencapture-nag-remover, install it as per directions and run it. Nags should go away.

My issue is not the Allow Permission nags. Are you sure this will fix my issue ?

Since the nexw MAJ, i can't use AltTab without the annoying pop-up appearing every 10 sec.

Same here. One interesting thing is that my work M2 Pro always shows me this popup, while my personal M3 only displays the bluish dot without the popup. They are both on 15.2. Aside from the work-related security configurations and apps, I'm not sure what the difference is between them.

Same issue and the script in the mentioned repo saved me!

I found temporary work around: (seems working)

  1. Close the app
  2. Set your date manually to 2040.
  3. reopen the app and allow permission
  4. Set date back.

Nice. This seems to be working until a proper patch version get released.
