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.

Changelog

Requires macOS 12.0 and higher. Further releases and feature requests may make this macOS 13 and higher depending on code complexity.

Changed

• You can now pass the string latest in the requiredMinimumOSVersion key
  • This requires utilizing the SOFA feed features to properly work
  • Nudge will then utilize two date integers to automatically calculate the requiredInstallationDate
    • activelyExploitedInstallationSLA under the osVersionRequirement key will default to 14 days
    • standardInstallationSLA under the osVersionRequirement key will default to 28 days
    • These dates are calculated against the ReleaseDate key in the SOFA feed
