macOS (Not)ifications

This article describes how macOS delivers notifications and security prompts (Notification Center, CoreServicesUIAgent, TCC, Gatekeeper, File Quarantine, and Launch/Login Items), the resulting alert fatigue for users, and the deployment challenges faced by developers and administrators—especially when devices are unmanaged. It explains that many permissions and approvals (e.g., Full Disk Access, system extensions) cannot be scripted without an MDM using PPPC profiles, and emphasizes that these protections are an intentional design by Apple to increase end-user transparency and safety.
