These warnings seems to be benign. Several other projects using libraries for apple technology have seen them and most seem to disregard them ...

eg:
https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/blob/master/README.md#errors-on-startup

The question now becomes one of whether or not it is worth it to "fix" code that otherwise works.

Either fix, or put an entry for a FAQ, with a better wording than "the cost of removing the issue at the core of the errors isn't worth the effort", imho.

More info:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cups/tree/f15

The 5 patches beginning with cups-avahi- are what the cups folks had to do to get this warning to go away. I'm not finding any indication whatsoever of a change in functionality. It seems to be simply an effort to get developers not to use Apple APIs even though they are supported now and have been for > 10 years (this warning is older than that).
