I'm Trying to add an NSProgressIndicator on the unlock (first lock screen ) in macOS ( the screen with the lock icon )

I already added a label and it works fine and after entering the password on the second (authentication) page I can able to add ProgressIndicator but not on first screen. But Whenever I try to add a Progress indicator, the entire screen turns Black and nothing is displayed

Is NSProgressIndicator supported on the first unlock Screen ? Or does macOS block animated UI on this screen

Any Guidance would be helpful Thanks

I’d like to clarify what you mean by “macOS Unlock (First Lock) Screen”. Specifically, how is your code being executed? Because macOS places pretty strict limits on how third-party code can run prior to the user logging in. Are you using a pre-login agent? Or an authorisation plug-in? And if it’s authorisation plug-in, what authorisation right are you invoking it from?
