If you have an M2 Mac Studio you cannot downgrade to Monterey at all. Those require 13.4 or later.

13.5 – Location privacy broken

Besides this location service bug, overall 13.5 is an improvement over 13.4.1 (c). My 2017 Intel-era iMac ran a little smoother and the fan didn’t kick in higher PRM in the past a day or two of usage. On newer Mac, I won’t go back to macOS Monterey.
da hek, I read the forum thread. The mod is like a dumb bot confident with his answers. like wtf, how dumb are you to to just declare "iT's A fEAtuRE nOT A bUG".
FYI I was just speaking to someone at Apple Support about something else, and mentioned this issue with a "heads up, you might start seeing a lot of this". They checked to see what their systems were saying, and it looks like Apple is aware of the issue, and are actively collecting information.
I would imagine we'll see a fix reasonably soon, given how significant it is to lose location functions from effectively all your 3rd party apps.

I have 18 apps in the Location Services 'pane'. Only four are 3rd party, all the rest Apple. Agree this will likely be addressed soon. I still have not heard from one single person that this oversight did not affect after the update. Anyone? (If you're out there, please post hardware, software build#, silicone.)
That’s good to hear. Hopefully they’ll fix the issue in a 13.5.1 release or something.
I really hope they'll fix it sooner. It's a major flaw.
No apps shown in Location Services 13" 2020 M1 MBP on Mac OS 13.5. Reported the issue to Apple.

Nice. I knew there was someone out there that didn't get bit. Appears home repair mixed with Apple's update glitch results in me brain being loose with silent e's. (troubleshoot that...) Ensuing chuckle welcomed.
I kind of feel sorry for the person. They're obviously not thinking clearly and will probably be embarrassed once the fix is released.
While we are dreaming, I add ...possibly
Photos and
App Store Notifications fixed too
For now ⛅
Glad I didn't update yet. After the 13.2 update who break the compatibility of external disc drives and I had to wait for a fix for a good 2 weeks, I learned my lesson and never installed any major or .x updates from now on at release and wait a couple of days to see if there's potential issues.
@chrfr I have to apologize, my assumption was wrong.
Upon further investigation, kTCCServiceLiverpool does not influence the values controlled by System Settings (Preferences) – Security & Privacy – Location services.
The values set in that menu are actually stored in /private/var/db/locationd/clients.plist and it’s relatively easy to add apps.
For Microsoft Edge
};
"com.microsoft.edgemac" = {
Authorized = 1;
BundleId = "com.microsoft.edgemac";
BundlePath = "/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app";
Registered = "";
Requirement = "identifier \\"com.microsoft.edgemac\\" and anchor apple generic";
};

Anyone else file bugs with Feedback Assistant? Please post your FBxxxxxxxx numbers here so we can add them to our reports as related. The correlation will help prioritize this bug.
I would be happy to do it but it's only for Developers
Did already all possible feedbacks that I'm "SURE" someone at Apple reads every night before bed 🙄
No, anyone can use Feedback Assistant. It will give you an FBxxx number once you submit it.
When I checked how to use it I found this
"To use Feedback Assistant, you must sign in using an Apple ID that’s registered as an Apple Developer, or currently enrolled in an Apple Software Customer Seeding Program, AppleSeed for IT, or Apple Beta Software Program.
Note: If you’re not affiliated with any of the programs listed above, you can send feedback to Apple on the Apple Product Feedback website."
The last is what I'm using already
Hmm. Well since the betas are open to anyone, maybe you can just sign up for that to be able to submit bugs via FB assistant.
I think they need to take you through all the troubleshooting steps before escalating it where it would even be on the radar, but I could be wrong.
