I should have thought the simplest way round this problem was to work on the assumption that from now on ALL Apple displays will have a notch and "cut one's stack" to accommodate that.

Of course this is only relevant to people who want to annoy end-users by providing full-screen window apps.

The new 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro models announced by Apple yesterday include 
a display notch to house the 1080P front facing camera. Clearly this may cause 
problems for apps that display content in the screen area occupied by the new 
notch.

In response Apple has created a new “compatibility mode” for apps running on 
Macs with a notch. When this mode is active, the system changes the active area 
of the display to avoid the camera housing. This mode can be turned on/off by 
the user via a checkbox in the app’s get info panel or it can be activated or 
deactivated by the developer via a new ‘info.plist’ key.

Link to Apple developer documentation on how to turn on / off this mode using 
the new ‘info.plist’ key is below:
