Added Manual Notes

New keys:

• acceptableCameraUsage which I imagine might take place for lot of people's acceptableBundleIDs
• aggressiveUserFullScreenExperience enabling full screen blur after a user has passed the install deadline
  • defaulted to on
• cameraReferralTime preference that can be used with acceptableCameraUsage to allow Nudge to honor previous events of camera usage at the expense of some CPU penalties.
  • Example: User was on an hour long zoom meeting and 30 minutes in, Nudge launches. Nudge can go back in time and see that the camera was turned on. this is an integer that is calculated by minutes

• attemptToBlockApplicationLaunches to block app launches after a user has passed the install deadline
• blockedApplicationBundleIDs - an array of applications to block launches

Please note that with these two options, the user will be notified through Notification Center, but only if they approve the dialog. It is recommended to deploy an MDM profile for this to force user notifications.

Changes and fixes:

• improved Norwegian localization
• new Danish localization
• fixes the bug around people moving Nudge to a different desktop space and bypassing nudge event
• CMD+N and CMD+M are now banned if Nudge is the primary window on a macOS device
• new -bundle-mode argument to launch Nudge with a built-in json. Not for use in production.
• new -print-profile-config argument to print out the current profile preferences applied to nudge. Nudge will not run when passing this argument.
• new -print-json-config argument to print out the current json preferences applied to nudge. Nudge will not run when passing this argument.

Notes

This is a pre-release version of Nudge created by GitHub Actions.
Nudge.app has been signed and notarized. The package has been signed, notarized and stapled.

By default Nudge looks for a com.github.macadmins.Nudge.json file located in /Library/Preferences. If you would like to use an alternative path, please read the README or the WIKI

About the LaunchAgent

This is a basic launch agent that opens Nudge twice an hour, every 30 minutes.
If you would like to reduce the amount of times Nudge launches per day, it is recommended to create your own LaunchAgent.

Changes

• effa383 - Create a blurred background that can be displayed on request (demonstration code)
• 125cfaf - super nag - make nudge and the blurred window persist across all virtual desktops
• f1e6457 - add storyboard to xcodeproj
• f49fe10 - make blur screen false by default - needs more work to make it prod worthy
• 463a9d1 - Make the background an observed object Call viewObserved.bluredBackground?.close() when clicking the "update device" button. this will make the background blur go away so the user can see the update window
• 404fc26 - duplicated reference to the background storyboard
• fa0d6df - renamed Blur storyboard to baclgroundBlur
• 18339fa - Removed storyboard and replaced as NSWindow declaration
• eb3edcf - Merge branch 'development' into background-blur
• af87ab1 - Merge branch 'development' into background-blur
• a19b1e6 - Merge pull request #335 from macadmins/development
• 44cb06e - Added N and M as banned keys. banning N prevents new window which is innocuous but not useful in any case. banning M prevents Nudge from being minimised perpetually and thus not being "in the way".
