I sincerely doubt this is intentional to this type of software.lostinlodos wrote: ↑Mon Mar 31, 2025 2:33 amAs a developer myself; I have two thoughts.
First, this looks intentional beyond the obvious, I believe they are trying to get ahead of a firmware attack that is reported but not generally not yet covered and as far as I can tell not in the wild yet.
Second: this change has broken most but not all ‘rippers’. Without being completely obvious the one from CN and the one from MY both still work. (Neither hold a candle to the ability of mMKV).
So does Daemon Tools.
Every piece of software of this type, for macOS, definitely uses some open source libraries for cross platform support. Apple uses (and documents) a lot of open source libraries within macOS. I suspect that a common piece of open source software/library is being used by the apps of this type that are now broken, and that Apple has deprecated it or moved on to a different version that theses apps weren't prepared for..
