[BUG] Couldn't communicate with a helper application #155

Description

@marcusheBG

Describe the bug
Receiving "Notification Agent rich notification authorization request ended with error: Couldn't communicate with a helper application" on recently deployed machines with signed custom complied app (not notarized)

Mosyle MDM

Experienced on a 12.6.1 and 13.2.1 Mac. ~95% of other Macs in environment working appropriately.

Tried reapplying notifications profile with reinstall profile button in MDM, no luck

Tried sudo -u $currentUser, no luck

Tried launchctl asuser $currentUserUID, worked!

After running once with launchctl asuser, reverting script to running notifier without arguments was working properly and providing notification.

Most Macs in MDM working, some need a "jumpstart" with launchctl asuser. For now, leaving launchctl asuser in our scripts.....

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [12.6.1 and 13.2.1]
  • Project version [Version 2.9.1 Build 96]

Additional context
Running from Mosyle MDM. Most machines work without launchctl asuser. Some need a jumpstart. Just leaving launchctl asuser in our scripts for now so we may not see the bug again to report more.

Thank you!
