JupyterLab does not prompt for permission to control other applications using xlwings on M2 mac

[Kunt-dev]

Description

I am experiencing an issue where JupyterLab does not prompt for permission to control other applications when using xlwings on my M2 macbook pro. This issue prevents me from accessing and modifying other files through xlwings within JupyterLab. This issue does not occur, when using VS Code, which prompts the permission and allows to write "Hello world" in the first cell in excel.

Reproduce

To reproduce the issue, please follow these steps:

1. Launch JupyterLab on macOS.
2. Execute the following code snippet in a Jupyter notebook:

import xlwings as xw

# Start Excel
app = xw.App()

# Create a new workbook
wb = xw.Book()

# Add some data to the first cell of the first sheet
wb.sheets[0]['A1'].value = "Hello, world!"

# Save and close
wb.save('Test.xlsx')
wb.close()

# Quit Excel
app.quit()

Context

• Operating System and version: Ventura 13.4.1 (M2 Pro)
• JupyterLab-Desktop version:3.6.1
• Installer: dmg

Troubleshoot Output

CommandError: Command failed:
		OSERROR: -1743
		MESSAGE: The user has declined permission.
		COMMAND: app(pid=4029).count(each=k.workbook)
