Fixes
In order to get Genshin Impact to successfully login after sideloading, this fix is required:
- Install the Genshin Impact app via #Instructions
- Disable SIP (boot into recovery by holding power button when boot, login your account, open terminal, type
csrutil disable, agree) - Restart
- Open Terminal, type
sudo nvram boot-args="-v cs_enforcement_disable=1 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1 keepsyms=1 intcoproc_unrestricted=1 amfi_unrestrict_task_for_pid=1 amfi_allow_any_signature=1 cs_debug=1"(Note: this command disables some security settings, e.g. does not allow changing camera preferences) - Restart
- Now captcha/login will work
- If you have problems with csrutil command (failed). Go to System preferences, Privacy & Secuirity, disable FileVault, enable it and choose allow unlock disk from iCloud option
after successful login, SIP can be enabled again: csrutil enable, app need to be reinstalled with `fix login` unchecked
Note: if you wish to disable the sudo command, open Terminal and enter sudo nvram boot-args="" to clear this command.
