Thank you for your detailed answer. I reproduced your steps and see different outcomes. Let me answer your first two questions and then describe how I reproduced your steps and where I see differences. Answers The first divergence I see is at this step. I don’t have your accessory on my network so no local traffic is generated, so there’s no local network alert Indeed that checkbox makes the app itself send similar data than our hardware, using multicast. I don’t understand how that’s possible if this is a “clean install” of macOS. Where could it possible get a different usage string? I should have been clearer. It shows the string This will allow the app to discover, connect to and collect data from devices on your network. which we did not set ourselves. I could not figure out if it comes from an other app, or if it's the default usage description.
