* refactor: replace deprecated NSUserNotifications with User Notifications
Removes deprecated NSUserNotification API, now using User Notifications
It replaces API calls for generating, scheduling, and receiving native
macOS notifications with equivalent API calls from the new framework,
or functionally equivalent implementations.
To preserve the existing Notification module API, special handling was
required in certain cases:
- Dynamically declared notification actions
Typically, notification actions should be declared at app launch time
when using the User Notifications framework. However, this isn’t
compatible with Electron’s architecture. Instead, we dynamically
declare new notifications actions when necessary and carefully manage
the existing actions registered at runtime.
- Localizations for ‘Reply’ and ‘Show’ labels
New translation files are added and processed through GRIT to add
localizations for “Reply” and “Show” button labels which were
initially supplied by the NSUserNotification framework.
* Use NotificationImageRetainer pattern from //chrome
* build: fix lint
* build: update config to handle --translate-gender for pak files
* test: also sign on arm64
* fix: add error handling for scheduling notification
* docs: add details to breaking changes
* docs: clarify breaking change details
* docs: add details for notifications tutorial and API documentation

Official Guides
Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
