Stop waiting on Apple. Turn off SIP, find the function responsible for this, and swizzle it with a no-op.
This, in my mind, is exactly what makes SIP brilliant as a default but optional feature. It's fantastic for 95% of Mac users, who can browse the web and write emails confident in the knowledge that their microphone is turned off. The remaining 5% need to do weird crap like run live music shows, and should take advantage of the escape hatch.
- smoldesu 5y agoUnfortunately, "weird crap like [running] live music shows" is what Apple markets their devices for, and since they're selling machines that have thousand-dollar price premiums over their competitors, I should hope their attitude isn't "fix it for yourself". I know a number of Mac musicians who run live shows and can neither grok what you just suggested or be bothered to disable SIP and lose all their iLok plugins before a show.
- josephcsible 5y ago> disable SIP and lose all their iLok plugins Wait, what? Does this mean that SIP is now de facto mandatory on macOS, unless you don't use any DRM-encumbered programs?
- smoldesu 5y agoMy bad, Freudian slip. I meant enable.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoSorry, I'm actually confused by the reverse—are there DRM systems which require SIP to be enabled now?! That's awful!
- Wowfunhappy 5y ago...Oh, I reread—I get it. Your code-swizzling plugin/software wouldn't work because you switched SIP back on.
