Permissions Request on restricted folders on macOS #1931

Open

Description

Issue

When running an application on macOS from within restricted directories such as Downloads, Documents, or Desktop, users encounter a "Request access to files" popup.
Image

Cause

This behavior is caused by the HttpClient invoking CommonUnixIPGlobalProperties.getDomainName, which requires file access.

Impact

  • The popup is triggered by default and may be undesirable for some users.
  • Not granting access does not affect error reporting.

Proposed Solutions

  1. Preferable: Find a way to avoid invoking the domain name resolving.
  2. Make the UnityBackgroundWorker public. It relies on UnityWebRequests for sending events.
