Disabling Gatekeeper (macOS)

Gatekeeper is a macOS security feature that may prevent the patch from running. To disable Gatekeeper:

1. Open the Terminal app (Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
2. Enter the following command and press Enter:

sudo spctl --master-disable

3. Enter your Mac password if prompted.
4. Gatekeeper will now be disabled, allowing you to run apps from any source.
5. Go to settings app (Applications → System Preferences → Security & Privacy).
6. In the "Privacy & Security" tab, select "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere".

To re-enable Gatekeeper after patching:

sudo spctl --master-enable

Note: Disabling Gatekeeper reduces your Mac's security. Only disable it temporarily and re-enable it after completing the patch process.

Troubleshooting

• Parallels Desktop application crashes unexpectedly?
  • Add a digital signature. See the guide: Adding a Digital Signature.
• pr|_client_app application crashes?
  • Go to the Patch folder and run DisableLibraryValidation.
  • Follow the instructions in the terminal.
• Patch shows "Operation not permitted"?
  • Terminal lacks permissions. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and add Terminal to:
    • Full Disk Access
    • App Management
  • Terminal is located in: Applications → Utilities → Terminal.
• Patch shows "Read-only"?
  • The script can’t access files in the DMG. Make sure you copied the Patch folder to the desktop and try again.
• Parallels Desktop freezes on launch?

• Black screen when starting a VM?
  • In the running VM, go to the menu: Actions → Reset (equivalent to a PC reboot).
• Other issues?
  • See the guide: Common Mac app installation errors.
