Specify com.apple.applicationaccess.new as the payload type.

To determine if an app can be launched, the app is evaluated with these rules:

• Certain system app and utilities are always allowed to run.

• The allow list is searched to see if the bundleID has a matching entry. If a match is found, appID and detachedSignature (if present) are used to verify the signature of the app being launched. If the signature is valid and matches the designated requirement (in the appID key), the app is allowed to launch.

• If the path to the binary being launched matches or is in a subdirectory of a path in the deny list, the binary is denied.

• If the path to the binary being launched matches or is a subdirectory of a path in the allow list, the binary is allowed to launch.

• The binary is denied permission to launch.
