Error: can not patch file /Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer
[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Applications/TeamViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewer'
could you help me?
thanks
Hi,
I just tested the above and it still working on TV 15.45.3 (without reboot).
Make sure that TeamViewer is fully closed before running sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer-for-mac.py
% sudo python3 TeamViewer-15-id-changer-for-mac.py

!!! Restart computer before using TeamViewer !!!!
the problem was due to SIP enabled. After disabled, it works.
thanks

Great!
Couple things.
Command shall be
for the latest macOS.
After the first run, when all goes well, you can just run TeamViewer, you don't need to restart the computer.
If you want to repeat this step, you need to restart computer as on 2nd run you will get the error
After restart, all will work well.
