Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/891

I was trying to run insta360 app which requires various permissions before we can start the app. I enabled all app permissions however there is no Network permission on Mac System Settings. I think it is the "Mobile Data" permission request, I'm not sure if it's possible to emulate network permission on PlayCover.

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe add a custom setting for network. When it is enabled, apps would get permission granted message when the check for permissions.

Anything else?

iOS has the Network permission but not MacOS.

Issue Language

You should have gotten that access by default on macOS. Afaik macOS doesn’t have the same restriction on accessing LAN devices like iOS...

Anyone managed to run insta360 ipados app on a mac ?
That would be game changing as the insta 360 studio is really lacking features ...
