Hardened runtime using hidapi under macOS Catalina

[jbolduc01]

Hello,
I am having trouble to codesign my QT app using macdeployqt using the hidapi project.
Seems like I do not have access to HID device after codesigning my application.
Is anyone ran into this issue? How to solve it?
Thanks,
Jérôme

This library isn't being maintained any more, please see #373.
However the solution to your issue is your app needs extra entitlements.
See examples like: https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/agent/blob/master/scripts/entitlements.mac.plist
But I believe the most important entitlement is
com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables
See:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_security_cs_allow-dyld-environment-variables

com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables

I believe it is not required any more after libusb/hidapi#120

Interesting! I will update node-hid and schedule some node-hid & Electron tests. Hopefully this eliminates the need for this entitlement for Electron users too. Thanks!

Fixes #119 solves my issue on my side. Thanks.
