Hi, I am trying to write an app for macOS which will allow or drop a potential upload request, e.g. PUT or PATCH http request. For example, I would like to block uploading of a file to Google drive. I was looking into the 'SimpleFireWall' app sample provided within (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/714) but AFAIU this cannot be done due to limitations of NEFilterDataProvider and its flow (NEFilterFlow) objects, i.e. one limitation is that this would only be supported on Safari (WebKit based browsers) and secondly there is no option to peek and analyze which http request is represented by the flow in case of a TLS connection (HTTPS) as data is obviously encrypted. What would be the recommended way of achieving this? Thanks, Doron.

Hello, AFAIU, a new purple dot indicator was added within the Control Center in Sequoia 15.1. Up until now it was used to indicate audio recording. My question is where would I get detailed documentation on this new indicator? I did find the following link https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchl50f94f8f/15.1/mac/15.1 although it seems out of date, i.e. still noting only audio recording and nothing regarding screen recording. Also, can this indicator be suppressed in any way? e.g. via MDM or other means. Thanks, Doron.
