Hi,
This is still not resolved. Please reopen issue, to be able to vote again.

Manual says it all (Screen.sleepTimeout):
"Does nothing on non-handheld devices."

macOS standalone builds made with Unity still prevents computer from going into sleep.

Please suggest something to resolve this issue!
Thanks!

Hello,

This resolution Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.SystemSetting does not work for macOS at runtime. Prevent sleep is still set to 'Yes" when a default Unity MacOS project is running and the shared API Screen.sleepTimeout = SleepTimeout.SystemSetting does not have any effect.

The Api only works for Android and Ios but not for macOS.

Please suggest how we can prevent the Unity3D app from overriding prevent sleep on macOS

regards
