MacOS Sonoma completely breaks Sony camera compatibility

The update to MacOS Sonoma introduces some new system privacy stuff that apparently prevents Lightroom Classic from seeing any photos on a connected camera, and thus nothing to import. It actally prevents the camera mounting its drives in the Finder as well, although if I remove the card and use a card reader, the drive mounts OK.

The advice is to do the usual allowing Lightroom full disk access - but I already had done this, and it is switched on both in the Files and Folders and Full Disk Access sections of Settings > Security and Privacy.

Does anyone know who needs to fix this? It's not specifically a LR issue (as I say the camera no longer mounts as a volume of files in the Finder either) - is it a Sony issue?

Additionally - this information seems to be outdated

This is not what I see when I go into the relevant section in Settings.

Update - if I turn off the full disk access for Lightroom, then those other options like desktop and documents do indeed appear, and are switched on. But neither LR nor the finder can see the folders of images when the card is in the camera, so it's still a bug. Neither full disk access or the files and folders option seem to allow LR to see the images.

It's a little odd to pay for software that doesn't work properly, but ok.

No one here has said it doesn't work. What was said was it is not supported.
