Catalina - Hide iCloud Setup(s)

[sirsir]

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.

"(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
You might find additional help in this thread
