macOS Sonoma 14.2 camera connection

Starting with Sonoma 14.2 it is not possible any longer to connect canon cameras to an app via USB using Canon's EDSDK framework. This has been working fine up to Sonoma 14.1.

The app using the EDSDK is not crashing, but the SDK is not reporting back any connected cameras any longer. The camera is connected and can be seen in the system report as well as in e.g. gphoto2 and even in the EOS Utility Software. It seems that 14.2 introduced some breaking change to the access to cameras from within apps.

I've tried upgrading to the newest EDSDK version and checked with and without App Sandbox. There is no way to find the camera any longer on 14.2.

I'm using several (UVC) cameras on Sonoma 14.2 and they work okay. There's nothing generally broken about USB camera support on 14.2. This sounds like something you should report to Canon - as you say, the system report sees the camera but the EDSDK does not.
