Unable to post events on macOS

[pentamassiv]

Description

Currently it is not possible for an application to send keystrokes. SIP prevents any changes to the permissions (#650) so it would be great if you could grant bash the permissions to send keystrokes. It would allow us to run tests for the library enigo on macOS (enigo-rs/enigo#141). The library allows sending keystrokes on Linux, Windows and macOS and it is used by virtual keyboards and applications such as RustDesk.

Please consider adding
"'kTCCServicePostEvent','/bin/bash',1,2,0,1,NULL,NULL,NULL,'UNUSED',NULL,0,1583997993"
to the TCC.db. I guess it would be added to images/macos/provision/configuration/configure-tccdb-macos.sh.

Is it regression?

No

Expected behavior

Be able to send events to test the library

Actual behavior

The tests fail, because they lack the permissions to send keystrokes.

Repro steps

• Clone my branch to add more tests to enigo: https://github.com/pentamassiv/enigo/tree/more_test_cases
• Run the CI.yml workflow.
• Have a look at the nightly workflows
  -> They pass for Linux & Windows but fail on macOS

Hey @pentamassiv!
I'll check how it would affect couple things connected with images security and will turn back with changes or negative answer. In general it sounds reasonable for me.

It looks like it is possible now. Thank you very much for your consideration and the quick fix 👍
