Suppress new "Accessing Your Screen" notices from Control Center (in macOS 15.2)

[g0t4]

FYI there appear to be new settings for kScreenCapturePrivacyHintDate and kScreenCapturePrivacyHintPolicy that seem to control the new Control Center notices (i.e. "Is Accessing Your Screen") that add another annoyance.

And there's a bug right now if your kScreenCapturePrivacyHintDate is in the past, it doesn't update it and instead just shows the new notice EVERY TIME you take a screenshot and start recording.

I was able to successfully set kScreenCapturePrivacyHintDate to a date a year in the future and that is working so far.

Just a heads up if you think it's worth updating this script to avoid this annoyance too... if I can get some time I will see if I can mod the script...

The kScreenCapturePrivacyHintPolicy appears to be the interval of the notices, might be able to set that to more than 30 days (2592000) ... I just can't confirm because of the bug where it won't update the kScreenCapturePrivacyHintDate when it shows an alert (thus the privacy hint spams you).

Here is the plist for CleanShot:

	<dict>
		<key>kScreenCaptureAlertableUsageCount</key>
		<integer>1</integer>
		<key>kScreenCaptureApprovalLastAlerted</key>
		<date>2025-01-09T19:47:18Z</date>
		<key>kScreenCaptureApprovalLastUsed</key>
		<date>2025-01-09T19:49:04Z</date>
		<key>kScreenCapturePrivacyHintDate</key>
		<date>2026-01-09T19:47:18Z</date>
		<key>kScreenCapturePrivacyHintPolicy</key>
		<integer>2592000</integer>
	</dict>

Hey, did you manage to fix this?

[g0t4]

Yeah and now I forgot :) ... I modified that file above and pushed the dates way into the future

Any chance you can update this for macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 please?

Could you please update the script to support macOS 15.3.1 to avoid the notification in control center? That would be very helpful! Thanks.

Sorry for the cobwebs that have collected here over the past few weeks. I'll be updating this repo shortly!
