I just want to educate y'all about this specific "scary" warning (that you may see in the Pixelfed app)

Apple Bonjour is a feature that enables seamless connection between your Apple devices

You can safely tap "Don't Allow" without any impact, however, that may limit Handoff support and other Apple features we're planning to implement.

Regardless, you can audit our app code yourself to verify we aren't doing anything sketchy

@dansup you could try to delay that message by doing the first local network request after asking the user frist explaining what it is for.

To give more context to users, so they are not confused.

AFAIK this is not a permission like the others where you can insert a reason string in the plist.

@treefit That’s a great idea, thanks!

Apple added this in 2020 as part of their overhaul of Privacy features, you can learn more here
