macOS 15 (Sequoia) introduced a new "security" feature which has frustrated many people, and insulted power users who prefer to have full control over their systems. The effect is nagging popups like the one below when apps that you have already granted permission to try to capture your screen.

This script operates on the ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.replayd/ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist and sets the nag dates far in the future to avoid the popups from appearing.

macOS 15.1 introduced a new method (additional reference here) for suppressing these alerts across the board. This leverages a configuration profile which must be provisioned by an MDM server (e.g Jamf, Addigy, Mosyle etc). Apple unfortunately prohibits self-installing configuration profiles for certain TCC settings, ScreenCapture being one of them.

But don't despair, for self-managed Macs, the script also supports the standard method of individually setting MRU dates for each app (including macOS 15.1's new multi-keyed dict approach).
