Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

When all you want to do is to get Excel for your mac ... so you have to create an apple ID ... this now requires a phone for 2FA, which creates a single point of failure, which is a clear security anti-pattern. Add to that your lack of alternative 2FA-methods; Only thing you allow is my phone number, so you can track my identity, which is precisely the reason I do not want to set up an apple ID for my computer and least with ur app store so I can download excel files.
But then the worst is, after the smartphone 2FA, which opens up security holes due to SIM-swamp attacks, if you then go to your email to lookup the registration code, the signup window LOSES ALL STATE and you have to create registration from scratch.
This makes a registration actually impossible. So my entire mac is not able to open an excel file. Great, gonna use google web tools, since you do not even managed to code the setup for apple ID in such a way that it is actually possible to set up an Apple ID.

Sorry to hear about your issues, but this isn't related to Pkl.
If you have issues related to using your Mac, you should reach out to Apple customer support for that: https://support.apple.com/contact
