@EarthLaunch that is normal. System Preferences shows the Hardware Address. But ifconfig shows the current address which your device is identified as.

I already know of all those links, except the one on the Apple Dev forums.

One of the replies there does not look great for the future of spoofing on macOS, which ironically goes against Apple's very public image of pro Privacy....

Alright everyone.
 
My ticket has been closed and I pinged a bunch of friends I have that work at Apple HQ.
 
Final result. This is not a bug. Apple is removing this feature for security reasons.
This makes no sense since doing this does not put the individual doing it at a security risk.
But I don't. Im so done with the platform. You can't just remove ifconfig functionality.
Thats not how any of this works.

it looks as though support will be added for this in a future Safari release. Safari Technology Preview 85 returns all the tab titles on relaunch.

v6.0.16.1 should fix this problem:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookieapp/beta_updates.htm

it will only show a checkmark if the cookies are favorites in all your active browsers. So even though you have all the cookies for a particular domain checked, I see that the cookies are only for Safari Technology Preview.

I hope that makes sense

ok I have this fixed in the new beta v6.1.1.1 which you can find here:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookieapp/beta_updates.htm

It will be in the next official release (v6.1.2)

@flubnflub this is an odd bug, someone else had success by clicking cancel the second time the dialog shows...

@aubreyapple nice detective work, I see this happening also. ill look into it

and v6.1.1 is available in my store now. Its waiting to be reviewed by Apple, so hopefully later today

@woogerwas said in Won't enable Safari on MacOS 10.15.6:

Cookies will NOT enable Safari WITHOUT access to the RESTRICTED OS-Protected folder. You list the folder as not required for Safari enabling, but in fact ALL file permissions MUST be granted (required or not) before Cookie will enable Safari. There is NO "enable without access to..." possibility.

This is a bug, and I am fixing it right now. Ill post an update to my store in around an hour, and also upload to Apple for review - it should be available in the App Store later today

I am using the latest version of macOS of course. Cookie asks for access to the private folder because thats where Safari stores cache files. if you're happy with a partial deletion of cache, then don't allow it. thats why its not required.

And I cant refund your purchase from Apple. Apple doesn't give developers ANY info on purchases, and it most definitely doesn't give me authority to issue refunds. thats why I say look online.

I can easily manually create a license for the version from my store though, to save the hassle of asking Apple for a refund, then repurchasing. just send me an email with what name and email you would like attached to the license.

Well, it works on my system, and also on others. Something is up with your system.

How are you enabling permissions in Cookie? Globally or individually?

There could be a bug depending on how you enable permissions?

You need to search online for Mac App Store refunds.

it won't screw up your browser, it resets Cookie's permissions. which is what you are having trouble with. all that will happen, is your browsers in Cookie will become disabled, and Automatic removals will be switched off.

all you need to do, is give Cookie permission to access paths on your computer again, and you'll have to re-enable your browsers and re-enable Cookie Automatic removals. it'll will take less than 30s to re-enable everything.

@woogerwas try resetting Sandbox permissions on the Advanced tab in Preferences, and also try restarting your computer.

also, the App Store version is the same in functionality as the version from my store. you just need to manually install the Safari script to remove search history:

it also doesn't have access to Beta versions.
