Persistent system request for data access

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Describe the bug
Just install BTT on my Macbook Air M4 after successfully using it for a month on my M4 Mini. Even after a reboot, it keeps prompting a persistent alway-on-top system dialog: “BetterTouch Tool.app would like to access data from other apps.”

Regardless of whether I “allow” or “don’t allow,” the dialog keeps reappearing. Even quitting BTT won’t make it stop.

I’m on the latest Alpha and have rebooted–which is the only way to make the prompt go away.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

Some features in BTT might require "Full Disk Access" permission in System Setting (For example any menubar status item related things). If that permission is not granted macOS will show the prompt every time the required data is being accessed.
