AppleScript Application is not allowed to send keystrokes

Question

I made an app with AppleScript called FRIDAY. When I tell it to 'open chrome', it opens google chrome, this is working on Script Editor and out side of script editor. I can also tell it to 'open a new tab' and it opens a new tab using keystrokes:

-- this boolean is the reason this script keeps runing
set condition to false
say "Welcome sir"
set commands to {"what is todays date", "what time is it", "what is the time", "what day is it", "what month is it", "which month is it", "friday you up", "friday", "friday you tere", "you there", "empty the trash", "take out the trash", "clean up", "new tab", "next tab", "back", "take a nap", "go to sleep", "take a rest", "wake up", "copy the link", "paste the link", "give me list of running apps", "open a folder", "open chrome", "open youtube", "open atom", "quit atom", "goodbye FRIDAY_AI", "okay thanks", "okay thank you", "thanks", "thank you", "good night", "good morning", "morning", "night", "hey friday"}
repeat until condition is true
    try
        tell application "SpeechRecognitionServer"
            set FRIDAY_AI to listen continuously for commands with identifier "mine" with section title "FRIDAY's Commands"
        end tell

    -- full date
    set todays_date to date string of (current date)
    -- day
    set todays_day to weekday of (current date) as string
    -- time
    set t to time string of (current date)
    -- month
    set m to month of (current date) as string


    -- time and day
    if FRIDAY_AI = "what is todays date" then
        say todays_date
    end if
    if FRIDAY_AI = "what time is it" then
        say t
    end if
    if FRIDAY_AI = "what is the time" then
        say t
    end if
    if FRIDAY_AI = "what day is it" then
        say todays_day
    end if
    if FRIDAY_AI = "what month is it" then
        say m
    end if
    if FRIDAY_AI = "which month is it" then
        say m
    end if
    -- end of time and day

Now, the code above only works when I run FRIDAY on Script Editor but it DOES NOT WORK when I save FRIDAY as an application and run it.

Script Editor and my application(FRIDAY) have accessibility, in fact FRIDAY has full disk accessibility. But still it cannot send keystrokes.

I am keep getting this ERROR:

System Events got an error: FRIDAY is not allowed to send keystrokes.

Accessibility: Full Disk Access: Automation:

If you could help me solve this problem, I would really appreciate it, thank you!

Answer 1

I got a similar problem when updated to macOS 10.15 Catalina. I went to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility and here I deleted my application and then added it again. After this, all work perfectly.

Answer 2

I also found though it is getting asked to allow your script with access to System Events it is not added to Security & Privacy if your script has spaces in it's name. I was struggling with this issue until I replaced space with an underscore. Then it was added here and worked fine since.

This what worked for me:

Go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility and give permissions to iterm2
