v1.0.2
v1.0.2 — Admin access, first-run setup, and a distributable PKG
Added
Guided first-run setup If Mole isn't installed yet, MacMoleManager now walks you through it instead of just showing an error banner — what Mole is, what the installer is about to do, and when it might ask for admin access. Reopen it any time from the "What Is This?" link on the missing-Mole banner.
Privileges integration for admin access If your account doesn't have admin rights, MacMoleManager no longer just surfaces a raw sudo error — it now offers to request temporary admin rights directly through Privileges (if installed) and automatically retries the install/update once granted. Without Privileges, it points you at Users & Groups instead.
A friendlier prompt before Finder access Revealing a file in Finder now explains, once, that macOS is about to ask permission for MacMoleManager to control Finder — instead of that system dialog appearing out of nowhere.
A distributable, fleet-ready .pkg New Packaging/ directory with a build-pkg.sh script (archives/signs/notarizes via Xcode's Direct Distribution flow, then builds and notarizes the installer package) and a postinstall script that pre-installs Mole and opens Full Disk Access settings on unmanaged Macs.
A PPPC profile template for managed fleets Packaging/PPPC-template.mobileconfig pre-authorizes Full Disk Access and Finder automation for MacMoleManager's bundle ID — push it via Mosyle (or any MDM) and your users skip both permission prompts entirely.
Fixed
Corrected the About panel's MoleUI credit, which was misattributed to tw93 — it's Zhili1004's project — and added the missing link.
Notes for other Mac admins
If you're deploying this on a managed fleet: the Packaging/README.md walks through building the signed/notarized .pkg and deploying the PPPC profile so your users never see the Full Disk Access or Finder-automation prompts at all. On an unmanaged/personal Mac, the in-app onboarding and priming dialogs handle both instead — no profile required.
Installation
Managed fleet: deploy MacMoleManager-1.0.2.pkg via your MDM (see Packaging/README.md).
Personal Mac: download the .pkg, double-click to install, or grab the .app directly if you'd rather skip the installer.
