Fixes #8818.
Adding the
AssociatedBundleIdentifiersplist property mentioned by user @nodeful fixes the issue of an ambigious (to most users) name appearing in their login items menu on MacOS.Documentation relating to this property can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/servicemanagement/updating-helper-executables-from-earlier-versions-of-macos#Connect-services-to-app-names-in-System-Settings
Additionally we also add the
Programproperty using the full path of the application bundle, this seems to further prevent the "organisation name" (from the certificate signing) from appearing in the login items screen. Without this extra change Janek Bevendorff's name would still appear after a delayScreenshots
