If Crashes when opening Mac Cracked Apps

Apple removed TNT’s certificate, so the app will crash after July 12th. The current solution is to sign it yourself.

Run in Terminal

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/name.app

if Permission denied don't forget to add sudo

example:

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/1Password\ 7.app


Requisite: Xcode or the Apple Command Line Tools

To install, execute

xcode-select --install

Thank you so much for sharing the trick. I recently now never found TNT apps ( Only I need , Adobe stuff , paid 3D modelling apps ) that unable to use ( SIP disabled, Gate Keeper disabled ,Master disabled) But I think I should remember this trick in case emergency lol.

I'm still on MacOS Monterey 12.0.1. Heard many one cannot use apps after update to monterey. A bit weird that I could use 95% apps from Big Sur without crashed ( 5% not yet updated by dev ) 0_o .

Hi,

I have the same problem but with MacOS Ventura (13.0). GraphPad Prism 9 (9.0.2) from TNT crashes when try to open it.

I tried: sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Prism\ 9.app/ but it didn't work.

Any suggestions please? I really need help for this

Same here when opening Prism 9. It pops up an alert telling me the app crashes. Idk it's due to the certificate or the app's compatibility with Ventura. The command is also not work for me.

May the new os features are preventing the hack to work. Even in Monterey I have to apply the hack often as it worked for couple of days / sometimes for few hours then again the software crashed. Downgrading the particular software could be a help or else downgrade the OS if the software is very important.

Has anyone found a solution for Prism 9.4.1 on Mac OS Ventura yet?
Until I upgraded to Ventura the app had been working just fine without any certification nonesense...

you don't need to do this, you just need to do "xattr -cr" and drag the app. if you want to do other things with the app you may need to sign it, but just to run it this is fine. this command executes instantly, unlike the codesigning which can take a while on cracked games

@alucardontop can you explain how to do this? Is just running on the terminal xattr -cr and the Name.app?

I solved every kind of problem after the fact "Apple removed TNT’s certificate", so I'm working with some developers on an App that uses ai to give permission on every kind of App, file, vst, whatever you could imagine, just to run everything on our computer just with one click! I keep you updated guys!

A guy on reddit gave this suggestion and it works like magic. Here is a solution. Open Clean My Mac, go to Clean My Mac Preferences - disable sound. Should work, did for me.

@mayankgirdhar27 Man. This is completely CRAZY! After months of trying hard to run the app is was just that?? This is CRAZY I still can't believe that. Just wooooow 🤯
