Hide the Fleet desktop icon unless there is a policy failure

[zayhanlon]

Problem

We have some internal users who are worried about the Fleet Desktop menubar item taking up space on their limited macOS menubar space (especially on the macbooks with notches). I'm trying to find options / workarounds. Today, there are no Fleet provided options to hide this icon.

Providing a solution to this problem would have a positive effect on the end user experience of having Fleet desktop installed on their machine / remove the requirement from some users for us to uninstall Fleet desktop.

Potential solutions

A few that we've been able to come up with are:

1. Request that fleet add a feature where the menubar icon is only shown when a device is failing at least 1 policy. (top choice)
2. Remove fleet desktop all together and send users directly to their my device page from our custom error page (We are using the API to pull current policy state and deny access to internal websites). This is a bit complicated due to the constantly changing ID in /device/<device_id>, and we'd need to figure out how to get an up to date URL via the API Can Fleet provide another suggestion?
