AI framework usage without user session
We are evaluating various AI frameworks to use within our code, and are hoping to use some of the build-in frameworks in macOS including CoreML and Vision. However, we need to use these frameworks in a background process (system extension) that has no user session attached to it. (To be pedantic, we'll be using an XPC service that is spawned by the system extension, but neither would have an associated user session).
Saying the daemon-safe frameworks list has not been updated in a while is an understatement, but it's all we have to go on. CoreGraphics isn't even listed--back then it part of ApplicationServices (I think?) and ApplicationServices is a no go. Vision does use CoreGraphics symbols and data types so I have doubts.
We do have a POC that uses both frameworks and they seem to function fine but obviously having something official is better. Any Apple engineers that can comment on this?
You are definitely breaking new ground here, so I’m gonna to do some research and get back to you.

I’m still working on this. It’s proving to be challenging, not helped by the fact that WWDC is looming large on everyone’s calendar.
