PlayCover Versions Save

⚠️ ATTENTION: reinstall all apps when migrating to this release !!! ⚠️

For Call of Duty Mobile players is still recommended to use 0.8.7, because this release is still untested for ban risk.

• Camera, Photo, Micro in apps are now accessible
• You don't need to update PlayTools anymore. PlayCover will handle it.
• I removed all install options and legacy Catalyst mode. PlayTools now can be enabled in context menu
• PlayCover will detect if installed app is game, so it will enable PlayTools for games.
• Moreover now there are now toggles to optionally enable/disable fullscreen and keymapping
• Now app won't let you to run games if system config is wrong. It'll give step by step simple instruction instead
• Third uponce a time mouse stability update. I hope it'll be last one.
• Improved UI
• Now PlayCover became more secure, because PlayTools has different name on each device and now located in System Frameworks.

In case you have messages like "PlayCover will damage your computer . You should move it to the Trash." or "You have no permission to open PlayCover" . You should right-click the application, select “Get Info”, and check the “Override Malware Protection” box.

• New partial SIP-enable config.

You will need to perform this command in recovery mode:

csrutil enable --without kext —-without fs —-without nvram

And this in usual Terminal, then restart:

sudo nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1"

• Now scaling correctly works on macOS versions below 11.3
