How is it possible to get needed permission for a notification listener from winrt in python? The following code immediately returns "denied" without any sort of windows prompt showing up:
import asyncio
import winrt.windows.ui.notifications.management as management
async def main():
listener = management.UserNotificationListener.current
access_result = await listener.request_access_async()
print(access_result) #prints 2: denied
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
Naturally then it is impossible to do anything useful with the notification listener which is a problem.
I ran this code from cmd with python 3.11.4 and winrt 2.0.0b2
The docs mention adding the permission to the manifest for c# apps, but how would this work for winrt-python?
Turns out this maybe should have been over on another stack exchange because the solution was indeed just finding the windows setting buried in the menu: Privacy > Notifications > User notification access
You have to evidently turn on the option to allow you to turn on the feature (created by the department of redundancy department I'm sure).
