Since update to Safari 13 Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"

RTBaker

Hi,
Had everything working fine with Cookie 6 but following the safari 13 update I am stuck at the selecting folder for access screen. Rebooted but did not fix. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Cookie6 relies on the existence of Safari's cookie file to know if it has Full Disk Access:
`~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binaryCookies'

so, you should make sure that you run Safari NOT in Private Browsing mode, at least once to generate the file

The folder is there when I look in Finder BUT when the window "cookie needs to access this path to continue" opens I cannot see the library folder.

I think its hidden to cookie, but its visible in Finder

I am using Safari 13 BTW.

I can drag the cookie folder, via finder, to the cookie window and the directory "Cookies.binarycookies" appears but then I can't select it.

Any ideas please

Thanks

try a full reset ofCookie, by deleting this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.Cookieapp

Just tried that. When cookie boots up and goes to the screen to 'allow access' it gets to library/preferences and then I select it (allow) and 'allow' does not appear in the window
next to library/preferences. All others appear OK

For me, this problem was related to remnants of Cookie 5. Once I got rid of those, everything worked as promised.
FYI, this is what I had to do:

Drag Cookie 6 to AppCleaner.
Reinstall Cookie 5, then drag Cookie 5 to AppCleaner
Delete anything related to Cookie 5 that didn’t get uninstalled in Containers folder and Applications Scripts folder
Empty the trash
Reinstall Cookie 6
AVOID option to import Cookie 5 settings
Allow Global File Access
Then the Enable Safari browser function worked and I’m able to get to the cookie window.
