Fix Recommendation

Configure the macOS system to disable Find My service by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" and "com.apple.icloud.managed" configuration profiles.

Check Contents

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Find My service with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
function run() {
let pref1 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowFindMyDevice'))
let pref2 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowFindMyFriends'))
let pref3 = ObjC.unwrap($.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.icloud.managed')\
.objectForKey('DisableFMMiCloudSetting'))
if ( pref1 == false && pref2 == false && pref3 == true ) {
return("true")
} else {
return("false")
}
}
EOS

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