Hi,

I am unable yo access the microphone in Processing with Mojave.  
I am using the Sound library. Examples work fine. No errors but no audio data is coming in. Processing does not appear in the Security and Privacy settings of the system preferences so I can not allow access to it.  
Any suggestions?

I’m having the exact same problem. Processing don’t ask for permission to access the Inputs (microphone and webcam).

The issue is known and is solvable by a simple edit of the app. The developer should do that as I requested it on Github: [https://github.com/processing/processing-sound/issues/51](https://github.com/processing/processing-sound/issues/51)
