I don't know how to mentally parse this sentence. (Not snark; stumped.)

  "entitlements" are OSX Catalina's new(ish?) permission grants that applications need in order to access certain features like JIT or specific syscalls. The entitlement needed for this feature to work is undocumented.

    Entitlements aren't new, they existed since ages (OS X 10.11 already used them quite a bit).

      Catalina makes them all-but-required, though, even for non-store apps, between SIP (System Integrity Protection) and the on-by-default enforcement of notarization. On previous versions of macOS, regular developers could mostly avoid needing to touch them by just not being a store app. iOS developers have had to think about them since the early days.

      Sandboxed applications relied on them even before that.

  From the article: > the big thing that Catalina provides that enables this all to work is the ability to create 32-bit code segments in a 64-bit process. For that, they enabled the use of i386_set_ldt() in 64-bit processes. The big caveat though, is that this functionality is restricted by System Integrity Protection (SIP). For now, your best bet to get this working for yourself is to disable SIP. (CrossOver doesn't require that, but the mechanism by which we accomplish that is in flux internally to Apple. When it settles down, I'll update this thread.)
