OS X 10.9 Mavericks verifies kext signatures #231

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Soundflower on a system running Mavericks.
2. After login check the system logs (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) to 
find a message similar to this:
com.apple.kextcache[1989]: kext com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower  106069000 is 
in exception list, allowing to load

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A signed Soundflower kext will not trigger a notification.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Please provide any additional information below.

Mavericks seems to introduce a new layer of security aimed a kernel extensions. 
The author of the following blog post has done some research on the subject.

icks/

While Soundflower currently seems to be on a whitelist, any change in policy 
might stop Soundflower from working completely.

It would be great if a new, signed, version of Soundflower would be released! 
Alternatively, updating the source code to include all changes up until version 
1.6.6b would allow us to sign the kext (and installer) ourselves.

Neither is mine but it is an essential tool for me to get my internal audio 
stream into Max/MSP. Does anyone know of an alternative?

I've heard from Cycling '74 that they are not actively working on Soundflower 
at the moment. This makes it very unlikely that a Cycling '74 issued update 
will come out any time soon.

Fortunately, there are a few forks available on GitHub that have continued the 
work and even made the project compatible with Mavericks:
https://github.com/Cycling74/Soundflower/network

These are Xcode projects primarily, which means you'll need to compile the 
project yourself to be able to use the driver.

I'm one of those developers that fixed the build in Mavericks, but on my github 
you can also find an Installer https://github.com/crmne/Soundflower/releases
