Shoot... I realized that the existing processes were from a previous build that utilized SMJobBless. After unloading, the app does add the service to loginItems, but now there's a note that the process isn't signed, and the app doesn't connect to the helper. Guessing I should start a new thread?

It was upgraded. Other than reformatting the drive, is there a way to 'reset' the system for a given background item? I would think that an upgraded machine should still show the app in the list.

I didn't think to check, but yes, it's running. What's the methodology for applying privilege to a daemon in Sequoia? Would we need to conditionally open the Login Items pane depending on the OS version?

I'm seeing this issue, and the app window (I'm using XIB) is also not remembering where it was left.

I should note, that the menuBarExtraStyle is .window, and the menu is displayed with a button.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! It was helpful. 😊
