This completely locks down your NW.JS app, if you sign it using the right entitlements. Otherwise it simply fails to do anything, without impacting the application.
This framework is required to enable Assessment Mode on the MacOS.

These changes allow developers to use the Assessment Mode capabilities of the Mac Operating System.
Now when Kiosk Mode is enabled, the executable is signed with the correct entitlements and certificate and the user is on MacOS 10.15.4 or higher, Assessment Mode will be activated, meaning the user can no longer leave the app, their clipboard gets cleared and more: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/automaticassessmentconfiguration.
If they do not fulfil these conditions, nothing happens.
I personally have little experience with Objective-C, so any suggestions for improvements are welcome. Merging this into NW.JS would really help us out, otherwise we'll have to maintain a separate version of this framework.
Thank you in advance!
