safety – Are some apps all the time linked to iCloud.com through a SharedWebCredentials Library in its code?

I discovered that some apps comprise a Library named SharedWebCredentials which comprises the config json recordsdata that appear to all the time allow linking to iCloud. I’m utilizing Sonoma 14.5.

These apps embody FindMy, Household, Shortcuts, and the CoreService like AOSUIPrefPaneLauncher, iCloud, iCloud+, Protection Particulars, and so forth.

I’m questioning if these are legitimate and if that suggests these apps can all the time hyperlink to iCloud.com. Yet one more query is how we could assure there isn’t a cloud entry to these apps.

I’m a bit nervous that somebody who has entry to iCloud servers could find and achieve some management of my Mac through these apps by poisoning caches. I’ve that issues as a result of I observe further iCloud Keychain databases like xxxx-(null)-xxxxx or xxxTrustPeersxxx in my native keychain folder /Person/identify/Library/Keychains/UID/. I discovered key chain gadgets of NetworkProxy that set accounts for Cloudflare, Fastly, and so forth. And my web connections get interrupted every so often.

For instance, within the iCloud app, there are 4 recordsdata in that folder: *.iCloud.com.cn.json, *.iCloud.com.json, iCloud.com.cn.json, iCloud.com.json.

These json recordsdata are the identical, together with the app hyperlinks for appID com.apple.CloudKit.ShareBear. The json file seems like follows.

{
  "applinks": {
    "particulars": [
      {
        "appID": "com.apple.CloudKit.ShareBear",
        "components": [
            { "/": "/pages/?*" },
            { "/": "/numbers/?*" },
            { "/": "/keynote/?*" },
            { "/": "/iclouddrive/?*" },
            { "/": "/share/?*" },
            { "/": "/notes/?*" },
            { "/": "/photos/?*" },
            { "/": "/photos_sharing/?*" },
            { "/": "/reminders/template/*", "exclude": true },
            { "/": "/reminders/?*" },
            { "/": "/safari-tab-groups/?*" },
            { "/": "/freeform/?*" },
            { "/": "/v/?*" }
        ],
        "alwaysEnabled": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

The next is the json file in iCloud+/Contents/Library/SharedWebCredentials/icq.icloud.com.json

{
    "applinks": {
        "apps": [],
        "particulars": [
            {
                "appID": "0000000000.com.apple.icq",
                "components": [
                    { "?": {"context":"?*"} }
                ],
                "alwaysEnabled": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

The next are two screenshots for Shortcuts.app and the AOSUIPrefPaneLauncher.
