Can't enable access to assistive devices under Security & Privacy!

[Prodo123]

Hello,

I've tried to enable this option for Cinch and BetterSnapTool, but even though it's checked in sysprefs they both say that it's not enabled!
Yes I know it's not in Accessibility, but it doesn't matter since it's not recognized at all...

Does anyone know of a way to force enable it?

I had the same issue and was able to fix it via terminal (note that there might be different names listed in your TCC.db, so be sure to adjust the commands accordingly):

sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "select client from access;"

shows:

com.irradiatedsoftware.Cinch-Direct
com.irradiatedsoftware.cinch

delete first entry with:

sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "delete from access where client='com.irradiatedsoftware.Cinch-Direct';"

and second entry with:

sudo sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "delete from access where client='com.irradiatedsoftware.cinch';"

confirm that nothing else related to cinch is left by running the first command one last time.
