Fortitude Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) If this question seems basic I apologize, Unless I don't know where to look, I can't seem to find any guide regarding how to do this specifically. The Dortania guide says that InfoPlistPatch has no feature parity (I don't know what this means), and then proceeds to show a kernel patch. Is there a new way to do this? All I want to do is replace a specific key name with a fake name.

deeveedee Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 @Fortitude I'm not sure I understand your question, so forgive me if I am guessing at the wrong response. With recent versions of macOS (e.g., Monterey, Ventura), kernel patching may no longer be possible the way it was in earlier versions of macOS. @Slice and other of our experts know more about this than I do, but I can give you a simple example: If you want to patch a graphics kext, you can no longer use OC's config.plist to perform a binary search/replace in the /S/L/E kext. You must use WhateverGreen.kext (or your own custom kext) to patch the graphics kernel. This limitation may be true for other kernel patches as well, but I am not sure what kernel patches can be achieved via config.plist binary find/replace and which require kernel patching via kext.

Slice Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Short answer NO. InfoPlistPatching was developed for OSX 10.x and can't be applied to BigSur and up. Even for systems 10.x it rare achieves desirable effects. It is better to create codeless kext. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/356467-does-opencore-support-infoplist-patching-for-kexts-within-sle/#findComment-2804365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
