Running MacOS 13.4 on a iMac from 2009-10 cell phone was a 13pro at the time of messages. IOS 14 I believe was the first update on iPhone requesting install of patch.

Robert, which OSes are you running on what devices?
You are the first one to say they have first hands on experience. If you have mildly older devices and OS, that and the offered explanation of what it does is the assurance that I am looking for.?
This should have been written into the OS upgrade, not written as a stand alone upgrade. A line or two of code could have handled this and made it invisible. After all, what triggered this thread was a minor OS upgrade. And it appears to be not essential. It could have waited until the next upgrade.?
This sure isn¡¯t, ¡°it just works¡±. I miss Steve Jobs.?
Yes, Apple¡¯s goal or motto has become ¡°sell more hardware¡±, and speed up the obsolescence. Rather than ¡°the computer for the rest of us¡±, it has become sell them all a device.?
The System Prefs used to have a couple dozen items, but now Settings include hundreds of choices, organized in a confusing manner.?
And crippling bugs are more common in new releases.?

I hav had this pop up several times on my iMac. I¡¯ve always installed the patch offered by Apple without incidence re workings of applications. It then only reappeared on use of iPhone connection on rare occasions after a system software update. Install makes it go away.

Watching this with great interest as I have the same issue. ?I have not tried to fix it for some time living my iOS on 17.2 (in case newer iOS screws things up more) ?and my Mac Pro is running 10.13.6 (17G14042) which is as high as mine can go. ?

When I plug the phone into my Mac, this message pops up. (May be at the bottom of the post.)

I chose ¡°not now¡±. If I have or open a Finder window, my iPhone appears in the sidebar. Every time I plug in the iPhone, the dialog appears.

Going back a couple of versions of iOS, Photo.app started opening each time I plugged in the phone. That was a change. The iPhone was visible in the Finder window. After I updated to 18.4.1, Photo.app did not open, but the dialog appeared. The dialog makes me think that the upgrade fixed/ prevented Photo from opening, but gives the unneeded dialog box.
