Hi 2 different reasons to get this behavior \: (but I'm certain you know below things)

• 1) "/usr/local/bin/bdmesg" doesn't exist (if so you D.L Clover_r5155.pkg, extract bdmesg from package and put bdmesg in "/usr/local/bin" with sudo if user isn't admin. (and may be chmod 755)) ls -l /usr/local/bin/bdmesg -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 xxxxxxx staff 53664 9 avr 2023 /usr/local/bin/bdmesg

• 2) too much processor load and no time to execute bdmesg (Preview is displayed before bdmesg return a result) it's the reason why we had to put Timers at different places to avoid this problem Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: n.m) to let creation of temporary DataFiles before trying extractions of some of their content. But here datas are extracted directly from Clover boot log content not from a Datafile but the behavior could be the same.

May be other(s) reason(s) ? If someone knows ...

@matxpa Thanks for your explanations. In my case, bdmsg was missing since I am not using the Clover installer. I did the following to fix the issue:

• Downloaded the lates Clover_r5155.pkg build
• Extracted it with unpkg
• Copied over bdmesg to usr/local/bin
• Rebooted into Clover
• Performed an NVRAM reset (because OC buoild version was displayed in the app)
• Booted macOS
• Now the Bootloader entry is displayed correctly:

Hi

the better way could be to embed bdmesg as project component, but it causes another problem the behavior between Xcode 15.n and Xcode 14.n and older

with Xcode 15.n or Xcode 14.n an executable component like bdmesg must be declared as a copied file in Poject Resources folder if you want to keep that executable in a specific folder (aka binar(y/ies)

The use of bdmesg in this case is "Bundle.main.path(forResource: "/binary/bdmesg", ofType: "")!"

But with Xcode 15.n the above code result is "/Applications/About-This-Hack.app/Contents/Resources//binary/bdmesg" with 2 slashes between Resources and binary and it causes a crash so the solution is to use a Replace function when there's two slashes to eliminate one of the twos (Bundle.main.path(forResource: "/binary/bdmesg", ofType: "")!).replacingOccurrences(of: "//", with: "/")

And with Xcode 14.n the above code result is /Applications/About-This-Hack.app/Contents/Resources//binary/bdmesg and here replacing function does nothing coz there's no need to

So, the "real" solution would be to integrate bdmsg in the app.
