MacOS application asks for enabling location services on every start

New update available build 2024.4 (2024624) and app now even do not get so far. Several retries and the only screen I get is:

I was not able to reproduce the issue, perhaps if you reinstall the app this does get fixed? What happens when you try to access your HA instance from safari browser?

[mirekmal]

Over past few days situation was very random; 50% of cases asking for permissions, 40% of cases blank screen, in 10% of cases app started as expected... so very random. I just reinstalled it and will observe if this changes situation.
Accessing HA from safari I have no issues whatsoever, 100% reliable.

This usually means your trust database on disk is broken in some way, which happens from time to time. Try running:

tccutil reset All io.robbie.homeassistant

in console, see if that helps. I think it might not be able to reset Location Services permissions, though -- that's behind SIP and not even disabling SIP allows you to reset it, e.g.: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255386450?answerId=260018541022&sortBy=best#260018541022.

I started seeing this after a clean install of Sonoma 14.4.1. I think they changed their location permissions, maybe even the API. That being said I did a Time Machine restore of my home directory so the Locations Services database from that link might actually be the issue. That being said the tccutil did not have any effect.

I tried reinstall, restore etc, nothing helps (cannot restore older version of companion app, though). Nothing helps. In 90% of cases I get to blank screen and need to retry several times to getto the location services screen :-(
