I actually have SIP disabled right now because Apple support had me turn it off to it to do some troubleshooting on my M1 MacBook Air with my 5K display and noticed my iOS Apps weren't running. I'll have to see if enabling it fixes things. I can confirm when I try to launch them right now I get a FairPlay encryption error.

Can you help me re-enable SIP? I get the prompt "This tool needs to be executed from recovery OS" Not sure how I do that.
 
I tried that and it says "this tool need to be executed from recovery OS" Not sure how to proceed.
Turn off your computer. Then to get into recoveryOS you hold down the power button until you the option to get into recovery mode. Once you are in there you can open terminal to enable renable SIP and then reboot.

Thank you! I will try that now.

what's it saying in English?
Sorry.
And here is the SNS support answer:

Hi Dmitry,

In addition to the switch to a completely different hardware architecture that Hal mentioned, Apple has also deprecated macOS' Kernel Programming Interfaces (KPIs), which globalSAN and many other third-party kernel extensions rely upon, and replaced them with Apple's new System Extensions Model. These two changes greatly increase the complexity in the transition for very low-level software like globalSAN, and we're still investigating what changes are required.

As we have new information to share regarding macOS support of globalSAN beyond macOS 10.15.7 and Apple silicon, we will be posting those announcements to our knowledge base.

Gotta wonder: If you are a business who makes products that rely on compatibility with Apple hardware, and Apple announces a transition to dramatically new hardware while simultaneously offering developers an early example of that hardware at a low price, do you not immediately start working on development?

I’m trying to understand why companies like this did not buy the developer kit and start working on solutions at the point it was released at the developers conference many months ago (or did buy it and still “investigating” after this long)? Is it because Apple’s dev kit and System Extensions Model was too “early production” to be worthwhile to work on (in which case Bad Job Apple!). Or is it more a case of just waiting until the production models are released to see how many customers complain (in which case Bad Hardware Developers!).

It‘s always just weird to me how many companies just act like Devcon never happened when the announced changes go into production...as if they are starting from scratch when they should have had many months.

I wonder if there are some things Apple needs to do to improve their process to make this kind of issue less likely.
 
Good to see that the makers of CDock are still looking to support M1 Macs. Besides Parallels, CDock is the only app left from my old 2015MBP that I haven't been able to get working, and I'm sure Parallels will update their app at some point.

 
Actually, one of my major gripes with iOS and to some extent MacOS, is that they assume that all users store nuclear launch codes on their computer. My elderly parents don’t need that kind of security, and neither do I. Restricting access is just an unnecessary obstacle for us. And something that invariable messes them up when a new OS version is installed, and I have to try to handle security settings on the phone.
They just want to pick up the device and use it, like any tool, or for them, newspaper.
These days, any computer that is NOT treated as if it stored launch codes, will probably be taken over and used to attack those that do. There are so many crooks (and worse) out there that zero security is not doable anymore. A newspaper is a passive object, that cannot be used to do anything except read or wrap dead fish or burn or recycle. A computer, esp. a connected one, can do pretty much anything if it's not locked down, including steal your $$, be used to steal someone else's, etc.

One might not need to jump a million hoops, but a login and password or PIN or the like is NOT TOO MUCH. If it is, people should go back to low-tech or at least NOT have an Internet connection.

edit: the alternative is a kiosk that can ONLY do a very limited number of things - kind of like iOS with extreme parental control enabled, and NO permission to download more apps. But something that can both do whatever one wants and is wide open, is just crazy anymore.

And you don't seem to have any idea how paranoid REALLY locked down systems are - clearly they're NOT meant for anyone not trained in their use. And even then, there are TWO launch keys too far apart for one person to reach at the same time...because even with a maximum paranoid system, the wetware (humans) will still be the weak link. :)
