Users started reporting this issue late last week.
A quick summary of the issue.
The issue is triggered after attempting to sign into iCloud at the setup assistant window after installing macOS with the following OS listed below. You will be unable to continue past the screen, because the Agree button is greyed out.
The issue affects the following macOS versions 👇
- 1. macOS Catalina 10.15
- 2. macOS Mojave 10.14
- 3. macOS High Sierra 10.13
- 4. macOS Sierra 10.12
- 5. OS X El Capitan 10.11

Reproducing the issue.
The issue can be reproduced every time by attempting to sign into iCloud in the setup assistant window.
How to Fix the Issue
The fix is very simple, all you need to do is click the back button. Then click “Set Up Later” at the top of the Sign In with Your Apple ID window.
Walk though the rest of the macOS setup assistant until you get to the desktop.
You can still sign into iCloud once you get into the OS.
The good news is that you can sign into iCloud in system preferences after the setup assistant.
What is causing the issue?
Unknown at this time. Could it be a server side issue? I will update if I find any further info.
