Description
Coder Desktop Version: 0.3.0
Every couple of hours, most noticeably when my laptop wakes from sleep, Coder Connect becomes disabled and I get the error "Permission was not granted to execute the CoderVPN dylib." When I re-enable Coder Connect, I have to type in my admin password to grant permission, even though I've done it before.

Few things to note:
.dylib
is downloaded on Coder Connect start whenever the hash of the one on the Coder deployment changes.main
(exacerbating this issue)..dylib
is downloaded, the user must approve it's execution by entering their password (see fix: unquarantine dylib after download #38 for why).Once coder/internal#563 (in review) is resolved, Coder Connect won't turn itself off on sleep, which will mean it won't restart on wake and attempt to download the latest
.dylib
, which will mean you won't see this anymore. but you'll still need to enter your password whenever you start Coder Connect against a fresh build of dev.coder.com.Once #135 is complete, the user won't be prompted to enter their password when a new
.dylib
is downloaded, the privileged helper will take care of it.feat: add experimental privileged helper (#160)
