Fix Recommendation

Configure the macOS system to disable FaceTime.app by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess.new" configuration profile.

Check Contents

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable FaceTime.app with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
function run() {
let pref1 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess.new')\
.objectForKey('familyControlsEnabled'))
let pathlist = $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess.new')\
.objectForKey('pathBlackList').js
for ( let app in pathlist ) {
if ( ObjC.unwrap(pathlist[app]) == "/Applications/FaceTime.app" && pref1 == true ){
return("true")
}
}
return("false")
}
EOS

If the result is not "true", this is a finding.
