Dude I read it already, But I don't know how to do these things

You need to open Terminal and type commands they specified in the repo.

You can download repo by git command or directly from GitHub and unpack the ZIP archive.

The ZIP archive option may be simpler for you. Just click the green button in their repo called 'Code' and select 'Download ZIP'. In the next step, you can unpack it and move a directory to Desktop. Then open Terminal, replace '$HOME' to 'Desktop' and that's all - just execute commands specified in the repo.

Remember that the script does not guarantee success.
In addition, if an application meets your expectations, you should purchase the paid version.

Doesn't work for Sketch 44 in beta version. The edits in the files are not being saved apparently.

for newer version kindly update .liscense file change as per below.
"sign":"=="
"allowedVariants":""
"type":"license"
"expiration":"999999999"

and remove the updateexpiry from the json.

@elijahtsai @hloch

If you read at the bottom of the console log, there is clear Notice visible:

[+] If a dialogue shows up with message: β€œSketch 3.app” can’t be opened
[+] please right-click the application and select open, or go to Settings -β€Ί Security
[+] and allow opening Sketch.app application.

By the way @hloch, next time open an issue on GitHub board to not spam this gist.

Ok it's work fine now. I just installed the app and when I started sketch it comes from ~/Downloads folder. I moved sketch into Applications folders and rerun the script. Now it work's but unfortunately when I launch sketch It still says I got 30 days left trial version.

Hi, @dawidow SketchCrapp's logic does not effect the days left counter, you can only see the magic after the trial. So if you DO EVERYTHING AS README TELL YOU TO DO then there is no need to bother this problem SketchCrapp had worked everything out for you and thanks for trying our script!

Thanks @duraki and @elijahtsai for your answer and your work. Everything is working fine. Deleted everything with AppCleaner. Downloaded and installed Sketch 68. Deleted all rules in Little Snitch. Start everything from scratch as in your Readme and Voila!, everything is going well.

Hi guys, tried it couple of times but cant run the program, version 68.2. The script ran successfully. First time I got Sketch.app cant be opened. now I dont even get an error dialog, the app icon just blinks up for a second and then nothing.

EDIT: I figured out the issue, I opened the app before the patching. Maybe you could include this in the readme to NOT to do for dummies like me :) Thx

For some reason updating the .license file worked fine the first time I tried it, but now it says it's a trial again. When I edit the .license file and save it, it keeps reverting back to the original file with the original values when I open it. Any ideas anyone?

@evasoek

Just use the script @elijahtsai and me built this year, see details here: https://gist.github.com/Bhavdip/76c581d7ac03bdce6d226a2e8c522df4#gistcomment-3395872

The reason the .license file trick doesn't work is because Sketch company started cracking down these obvious license bypass. @elijahtsai and I are tracking these down on each new update and we have built a script that should easily patch your Sketch.app. :-) share the good news πŸ‘

SketchCrapp has been updated to support Big Sur and Apple silicon!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and ready for the new years eve πŸ₯³. Hope your past holidays went well and you had a great company with your closest friends and family. Well, some good news to share today! Me, and especially @elijahtsai have been working really, really (no, really) hard to support Big Sure and latest release in SketchCrapp! This updated was the most awaited one, since it supports both Big Sur and Apple silicon, plus we managed to crack latest Sketch version. Thats right! We pushed the updated for Sketch v70.3!!!!!!!111

Update changelog

  • S K E T C H U N L I M I T E D
  • Latest supported Sketch versions: v70.2, v70.3
  • Added Support for Big Sur! Yay
  • Added Support for Apple silicon! Wow
  • Main xib reshack (finally removed X days left, great work @elijahtsai)
  • Register xib reshack

Are you using Big Sur?

If you updated to Big Sur, we got you covered! The latest version of SketchCrapp supports patching Sketch up to v70.3, which at the time of writing is latest version of Sketch (released on 18. December 2020).

Are you on latest Apple arch M1?

We need you! We are looking for testers who use or have Apple silicon computers (2020 and later)! We are testing our builds against Rosseta 2 which allows channeling Intel-based apps on Apple silicon. Please, let us know in the comment here: duraki/SketchCrapp#51

Whats more to tell?

We are trying to collect 150 starts β˜… by the NYE, which is, guess when? TONIGHT. So, please, give us some love ❀️ for this tedious work we put into. We are currently at 1000 LOC (lines of code) of our script which is a fuckload of lines to write. We deserved it! Hats off to @elijahtsai who did most of the work on the latest release.

Go share the big news, tweet #SketchCrapp and link our repository! SketchCrapp team wish you a happy new year πŸŽ„ 🎁 πŸŽ‰

Whatta expect ???!!!!!
