>We never see or store your admin password. The dialog box you see is a native OS X API (i.e. made by Apple).
Is it a native OS X dialog API, or native OS X authentication API? I could make a password prompt myself, and call that "being official Win32 API".
Can you show me the class where you invoke it, so I can judge for myself?
It's a standard OS X authentication API. The overview of the authorization stuff is discussed in:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Securi...
If you look under "Authorization Services Tasks" you'll see there's details about calling a privileged installer.
