Good Morning!



Is there an updated script to hide the iCloud Setup Wizard when users first login?



Here is the version I have been using for Mojave (which works fine until you install any OS updates or upgrade the OS):



#!/bin/sh
##
# Writing out launchd item to disable the iCloud login wizard every time the os version is increased/patched.
##

echo "
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.markIcloudComplete.plist</string>
<key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key>
<true/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/local/bin/markIcloudComplete.sh</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
" > /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.markIcloudComplete.plist
chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.markIcloudComplete.plist

echo "
##
# Disabling icloud preferences wizard on logins for current os revision.
##

# Setting this variable, "field splitting" makes sure each line is considered as such, even with spaces in them.
# Otherwise spaces are considered splitters. Here we are specifying "
"(page break) is the only splitter.
IFS=$'\\
'

osVer=`sw_vers -productVersion`

markerFile="/var/log/icloudDone$osVer"

if [ ! -e $markerFile ];
then
echo Disabling iCloud login wizard for OS X $osVer
for i in `ls -d /System/Library/User Template/*`;
do

defaults write "$i/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" LastSeenCloudProductVersion -string $osVer
defaults write "$i/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeCloudSetup -bool true
defaults write "$i/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeSyncSetup -bool true
defaults write "$i/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeSyncSetup2 -bool true
done

a=`ls -d /Users/*`
for userfolder in $a
do
if [ "$userfolder" != "/Users/Shared" ];
then
defaults write "$userfolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" LastSeenCloudProductVersion -string $osVer
defaults write "$userfolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeCloudSetup -bool true
defaults write "$userfolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeSyncSetup -bool true
defaults write "$userfolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist" DidSeeSyncSetup2 -bool true
chmod 666 "$userfolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist"
fi
done
touch $markerFile
fi
" > /usr/local/bin/markIcloudComplete.sh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/markIcloudComplete.sh

I believe the value you are looking for is SkipCloudSetup
