Are the macOS defaults sane for Ventura as well? #1039
Description
Hi, thanks for the amazing dotfiles project!
I used the project when I used a macbook many years back. Now I have got a macbook again and would like to know if the project is still maintained.
My main concern is the macos defaults, if they are compatible with Ventura.
Please tell. Thanks!

I just recently modified the
.macosscript to configure an older MacBook Pro running Catalina. Since at least Catalina, access tocom.apple.universalaccessis restricted and will result in an error message:This issue is tracked here: "Could not write domain com.apple.universalaccess; exiting" error in macOS Monterey · Issue #1027 · mathiasbynens/dotfiles
Resolution
Comment out (or delete) lines that attempt to write to universal access, like this:
Note that using
sudowill not resolve this issue.I did find this one discussion that suggests using a UI AppleScript to get around this restriction, but I don't want to do that, either.
Here's the thread: Changing Universal Access preferences - AppleScript - Late Night Software Ltd.. I haven't tried any of the suggestions, though.

Another possible resolution mentioned elsewhere, that I unfortunately haven't had a chance to test yet on Catalina, is to grant your terminal app (e.g. Terminal.app, iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty) Full Disk Access: System Preferences, Privacy, Full Disk Access
