Location Services Authorization

[LFavano]

I'm getting the error Unable to obtain authorisation, exiting... shortly after running the code.

I know that Python must be granted Location Services access in order for it to work, but I can't manage to do that on MacOS 14.1.2, Python doesn't appear in my Location Services app list.

This is not strictly related to the code but do you perhaps have a solution to it?
Thanks

Hi there, please could you try updating your macOS version? Also check you have installed the necessary prerequisites and requirements. I am running on 14.4.1 without issue.

The first time you run the script, Python will request Location Services authorisation which you must accept for the script to function properly.

You can see if the permission has been granted by going to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and checking next to Python.

In the latest version of the script, I manually load the frameworks using objc rather than importing CoreWLAN and CoreLocation directly.

This seems to have resolved the issue on the other MacBook I have used for testing. Please confirm this has resolved the issue for you too.

For CoreWLAN-related bugs, please refer to issue #19. This includes network SSID/BSSIDs being displayed as None.

If you receive the Unable to obtain authorisation, exiting... error, ensure Python has been granted Location Services permissions by going to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and checking next to Python.
