I encountered the same alert on one of five Macs that I upgraded to Yosemite. My research wasn't as good as yours, and I couldn't find anything online telling me what "emlog.pi" is. I therefore assumed it was malware and refused to grant it permission. It's been a while now, and I don't see anything going wrong with that Mac. Two of my Macs had Xcode installed, but only one of those Macs presented the alert. It was the Mac on which I actually use Xcode; on the other Mac, Xcode just sits there in case I need it someday, although it is fully configured. I thought I looked for emlog.pi and found it only on the first Mac, but now I see that it is on the other one, too. So I'm interested in the answer to your question, too. -- Bill Cheeseman - [email protected]
