After I upgraded to MacOS 26（beta）, my program caused the system to pop up a window as shown in the following picture. My application is a process with only a tray icon. I found that my tray icon is not displayed in the current version, even though I clicked the "Always Allow" button.
Here are my questions: 1.Will this related feature remain consistent in the official release? 2.How can I create a cmd process that only displays a system tray icon (no main window) like Alfred?
Lemme start by clarifying terminology. You wrote:
My application is a process with only a tray icon.
What do you mean by “tray icon”? Are you talking about a menu on the right side of the menu bar?
If so, those are called menu bar extras or status bar items [1].
