I wanted to install Atop which required SIMBL to be installed. Nothing at the process stated that SIMBL 0.7.5 wasn't compatible with Mojave 10.14. It started to pop confirmation if I want it to control xyz application. I then started to check to uninstall it and loss a lot of time. The process is commented in here https://github.com/w0lfschild/mySIMBL/issues/102 1. Disable SIP: Boot into Recovery mode: Restart and hold cmd+r In Menu -> Toolings -> Start “Terminal” $ csrutil disable; reboot 2. Run the script and perform uninstallation. It deletes a list of files. https://github.com/w0lfschild/mySIMBL/issues/102 3. re enable SIP same as (1) change to "enable" to re-enable SIP **THE PROBLEM IS A DAEMON mySIMBLHelper IS NOT UNINSTALLED** I checked the files that it opens, and there are at least 2 places that are not deleted by the script: "$HOME/Library/Caches/org.w0lf.mySIMBLHelper" "/private/var/folders/tl/*/T/AppTranslocation/*/d/mySIMBL.app" However the second one, can not be deleted because is a mounted file and it contains a copy of the original mySIMBL. > I tried restarting in SAFE MODE holding SHIFT at boot to force the > flush of temp files but didn't worked. The to gather more information I got to dump with launchctl launchctl dumpstate > dump.txt It shows up dozens of services with the next line included domain = com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.pid.rg.w0lf.mySIMBLHelper.3734 while it also shows that service as well com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.pid.rg.w0lf.mySIMBLHelper.3734 = { type = process handle = 3734 active count = 27 on-demand count = 1 service count = 26 active service count = 0 activity ratio = 0.00 originator = /private/var/folders/tl/yytk78b9195dbtvrhmhvfn100000gn/T/AppTranslocation/D5C172B8-7F7A-4E7E-B147-18B24DD76FDA/d/mySIMBL.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/mySIMBLHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/mySIMBLHelper creator = mySIMBLHelper.3734 creator euid = 501 uniqueid = 3734 external activation count = 0 security context = { uid = 501 asid = 100064 } ... **I need help to uninstall it or to stop it from running.** I can't even find the file where it is fired. Could you help me please?
