OCLP developers don't want to distribute nightly to people who are not skilled enough to find them by themselves.
No, I am not one of them.
Nightlies are not for end users but for people who are skilled enough to find them, read documentation, install them without any support.

Everything, including how to comply, or run it without comply, are in that page.
I tested the steps in that page before I post the link. It works.
You, and not just you of course, really should do a search (self-reliance) before asking others for help or a link. That info has been posted countless times on this thread.
Use OCLP nightly link to search.
The reason people get upset about people asking for help like that is obvious, think about it. Doing a search is so easy.
Not just that subject of course, most problems people have run into have been addressed several times over the last several years. That makes this forum a very useful place to search for relevant information.
Actually, knowing how to read is essential. It's all there. 🧐
No one on this forum is obliged to provide you support, or paid to do so. That attitude alone is enough to make anyone NOT want to give you any help. This is a forum to discuss hardware and software on unsupported Macs not a personal servant group. How old are you anyway?
Good morning all.
I’m currently using a 2013 21.5” Imac (14,1), Ventura 14.0 and OCLP 1.1.0 very successfully with only the minor glitches described in numerous posts. Absolutely no show stoppers! Many thanks devs. But, have not upgraded to Ventura 14.1 because of the many booting problems also discussed on this forum.
Since I‘m not a skilled computer craftsman as many of you are, (yes, trying to kiss the ring) I have not attempted to utilize the nightly OCLP updates.
For those of you that have had success downloading and booting Ventura 14.1 with the OCLP 1.2n, are you able to accomplish it via WIFI or must you use a wired connection?
many thanks in advance, Jim

Depends on the reliability of your WIFI connection. So far, WIFI has served me quite well. But hard-wired is most reliable. YMMV 😎
Oh go on.... Be interesting to see if the login issues are a 14.1 issue on an iMac rather than an upgrade issue from Ventura (for example) to 14.1...
OCLP 1.2.0 officially released. I got notification to update my 1.1.0 installation. It went off as smooth as silk. Even asked to update root patches! Incredible. Gets better by the day. My laptop is a MBP11,4 spoofed to MBP15,1.
I have an 11,4 and have heard of people doing this....might I ask what the advantage is? I would imagine it allows for additional items to to be functional?
1.2.0 installed and working well with Sonoma 14.0. Next up, another attempt to get Sonoma 14.1 installed.
The release version of OCLP v.1.2.0 is flawless in macOS 14.2Beta on a Mini7,1 🥳
Yeah, maybe I should just jump over 14.1 and install 14.2 beta 🤔
It's working well on my (supported) Mini8,1

Mainly because WiFi wasn't working well. There were other issues long ago with Ventura when I got the laptop, and the advice from OCLP was to spoof 11,4 to 14,3 (then, because 14,3 was supported by Ventura). MBP15,1 is that in Sonoma. Frankly I don't remember the other reasons; perhaps I should do the next Sonoma update without spoofing and see what happens...
Spoofing manually is a solution to enable UC on blacklisted Macs - not sure it is worth the trouble.
You are right at that. MBP11,4 was blacklisted. It WAS worth the trouble on Monterey and Ventura. The machine wasn't usable without. Perhaps now, it may not be. But I will find out next beta and will give a feedback.
14.2 beta 2. I found out (the hard way - rinse, repeat etc) that I could complete installation of the betas only by using Safe Mode.
