When using SMAppService to register a daemon, is it possible to let the authorization dialog show on behalf of my application? e.g.: showing the app name, custom icon and prompt, etc..

My app is for personal use currently, so distribution won't be a problem. It registers a privileged helper using SMAppService, and I was wondering whether there is a way to customize the authorization dialog that the system presents to the user.

SMAppService doesn’t offer any customisation options like this. If you’d like to see such support added in the future, I encourage you to file an enhancement request describing your requirements.
