Block iCloud notification when launching Freeform App

[jmahlman]

At this time there doesn't seem to be a key specifically for disabling iCloud for the Freeform app; however, a suggestion was made on Slack that allows you to block the iCloud prompt when launching Freeform.

Preference domain: com.apple.freeform
Key:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>CRLConnectICloudDialogShown</key>
	<integer>13001000</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

Should we include this as part of blocking iCloud? As a note, I am testing this but unable to get it working...but I figure it's a good discussion point.

Seems the integer may be related to the OS version. The int 13001000 didn't work on my 13.2 test machines but 13002000 does. May not be the best way to do this but let's bring it up anyway.

After that initial prompt, Im also not seeing a way to sign in within Freeform.

Setting the integert to 99999999 seems to work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>CRLConnectICloudDialogShown</key>
	<integer>99999999</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

While this doesn't disable the ability to sync to iCloud (using System Settings) it disables the pop-up.
