MacOS Mojave - camera and microphone access not requested #122

@oori

Description

@oori

Symptom
Building from sublimetext works but:

  1. The build process is very slow.
  2. The app runs extremely slow, unusable. Processing runs at 0.x FPS
  3. camera and microphone not working

Test
Running the same processing-java ... command from terminal works fine !
On first run Mojave asks for permissions to access camera and microphone.

If you then go to Mojave system preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Privacy --> camera/microphone and revoke that permission (uncheck the box to disallow terminal/iterm access), and try to run the processing-java ... again, you'll get exactly the same results as if building from sublime text (ie. slow, unusable). I'm pretty sure you can do the same test with processing as well.

Conclusion
When running a patch that requires camera or microphone access, on first use, the user should get a prompt from Mojave.

Problem
When building from sublimetext, the "request access" box never appears. and there's no way to manually add apps to the camera/micropohne list in Mojave.

Bypass
Right now I'm just building from terminal to bypass this, but I'd be happy to build from sublime text again.

Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks
