Firewall Blocks Screen Sharing with new Mac Mini Ventura

Turn on screen sharing on host computer.


Connect to computer from another Mac on the LAN. Works fine.


Turn on MacOS built-in firewall on host computer.


"Block all incoming connections" is not switched on.

"Screen Sharing" in pre-poulated and says "All incoming connections".

"Automatically allow built-in software to received incoming connections" is on.

Next one about signed software to receive incoming connections is on.

Stealth mode is off.


Reboot computer.


Now cannot connect to host computer anymore from same other computer on LAN.


I don't mind manually clicking the + button but I'm not sure where to find the binary for the screensharing daemon, but that should not realliy be necessary anyway since at least two of the above list should cover it.


13.6.1 and still the bug exists! Does anyone know how to circumvent it?


[Screensharing Deamon is at /System/Volumes/Data/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/screensharingd.bundle/Contents/MacOS/screensharingd but since it's inside a bundle, you cannot select it to add to the list of allowed applications or services.


Also, note File Sharing works fine with firewall on.
