You need to enable full disk permission for Terminal first.

Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access

And switch on the toggle for Terminal

Then it will work like a charm

sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer-for-mac.py

Reinstall latest version of Team Viewer and run it first, then close before running script.

Save the above script into TeamViewer-15-id-changer.py file

run the following command

sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer.py

follow instructions.

Re-run Team Viewer (no restart required)

When you running this script TeamViewer needs to be turned off and make sure is not active in the background.

Just tested on version 15.40.9 and is working as expected.

They change it recently to have more control so I doubt that’s possible.

Error: can not patch file /Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer

I'm on the most recent version of TeamViewer 15.49.2 is that why?

On your Mac, go to the system settings > Privacy & security> App Management and allow your terminal /iTem to change other apps.

Thanks for your reply ... Did that and I also gave full disk permission as mentioned in the comments above and now I'm getting the same error but with another message saying There is no TemViewer configs found. here is a screenshot

This is a fresh install of TeamViewer and I did run it before 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have to reinstall TeamViewer and open it to generate the config files again. Then make sure you close the app before you run the script.
