Out of boredom, I ran the console application that comes with macOS by default. As I was looking through some of the logs, I noticed a line that said:
"msg":"onAvengerAdvertisementDetected: got avenger advertisement", "subHarvester":"Avenger"}
coming from the subsystem com.apple.locationd.Core
under the category Harvester
. After looking further, I noticed a bunch of other calls using the term "advertisement" in them too. For example, there's:
{"msg":"convertToSPAdvertisement", "address":, "data":, "date":, "rssi":, "status":, "reserved":, "subHarvester":"Avenger"}
coming from the same subsystem and category.
Does anyone have any idea where these logs are coming from?
I'm on a MacBook Air M1 running macOS Monterrey 12.2.1
