**Description**  
I have installed the Zoom Mac OS SDk and run it which seems to work so far apart from i don’t appear to be able to grant access to my camera or microphone for the SDK app ? there is a red line through the start video icon and when I click it , it pops up to tell me to allow access via the settings / privacy section of prefs, but under camera, there is no app to authorise for camera or mic ?

**Which version?**  
so I’m running xcode 9.4 and SDK Mac OS

**To Reproduce(If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:  
Download and run the MAC OS SDK  
click on the video camera icon

Please don’t open it from xcode, just open the app manually, it’s bug of xcode 9.
