Hello, I am currently researching for ways to get the versions of all of the Mach-O executables and dylibs installed on my MacOS machine. Based on my initial research, I am able to get the information of installed applications from commands like "lsappinfo" and "system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType". However, the above commands only give me information about applications installed in my machine, not all the Mach-O binaries and dylibs. I also saw otool -L output is not very reliable as some dylibs don't show the current version. Are there any alternate commands I can try to get this information? Can this be achievable through any frameworks on MacOS? Any pointers will help me a lot.

We have an application which keeps throwing the error "application is damaged and cannot be opened. You should move it to Trash" I have already referred to the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706379 and https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706442 I have checked the following possible root causes: Codesign of the application using the codesign command Notarization of the application using the spctl command Executable permissions Checked for the presence of "com.apple.quarantine" flag for the application using xattr -l <path to executables" Checked the bundle structure None of the above listed items seemed to be a problem and are as expected. Can you please help us understand what could cause this issue and how to resolve this without recommending an uninstall/reinstall of the application?

Hello, I am currently researching to develop an application where I want to apply the MacOS updates without the password prompt shown to the users. I did some research on this and understand that an MDM solution can apply these patches without user intervention. Are there any other ways we can achieve this? Any leads are much appreciated.

I am currently working on ways my application which would monitor the dlopen() and dlsym() calls made on macOS. In the current list of events endpoint security framework provides, I don't see a relevant event which would give me this information. Are there any alternate ways we can get these events on macOS?

Starting from macOS 15 (macOS Sequoia), a new pop-up is triggered: “Local Network Privacy.” We have some questions regarding this new pop-up on MacOS: Question 1: If a launchd daemon invokes a command-line tool, will this tool trigger the local network prompt if it attempts to access the network? We use a launchd daemon which runs in root context and is started from /Library/LanuchDaemons/ Question 2: How will this prompt work across various macOS executables? I have read other developer forum articles and the https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/663858 - Local Network Privacy FAQ. The responses are a little unclear and any insight into these questions would be very helpful with this new requirements.
