amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 vs amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1 about macforge HOT 3 CLOSED

Copy pasted from Discord:

Important message!

If you are currently using MacForge and have turned off Apple Mobile File Integrity (AMFI) using the command nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1"

You will not be able to add applications to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy. This can completely prevent some applications form functioning or break critical functionality.

In order to fix this issue, follow the steps below:

1. open terminal and run the next command
2. sudo nvram boot-args=""; sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation -bool true
3. reboot

An updated version of MacForge should hopefully be coming out soon™️ with a built in warning and automation of these steps.

@w0lfschild One hundred thanks for this tip! I lost my day because of that! I was on the way of re-installing the whole system when I remembered that the troubles started right after the install of MacForge.

@w0lfschild Can't you just do the following instead?

sudo nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 ipc_control_port_options=0"

Non-Apple-signed arm64e DriverKit binaries such as yabai won't work though. Adding -arm64e_preview_abi to the boot-args breaks amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 due to a bug in macOS 12.4.
