hjuutilainen / bigsurblocker Goto Github PK

Instead of an OK dialogue how about an option for menu bar icon with a counter?

open the terminal, and run

launchctl list|grep bigsur
launchctl remove com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker

and it will recover.

Thank you so much for this, will it also block Monterey?

Once the application has been blocked can It be deleted ?
eg I have added the bundleID fro AnyDesk
Once the warning has been displayed to the users and the Users clicks ok the Application gets deleted

Bundle ID for Beta 3 seems to have changed to:
com.apple.InstallAssistant.macOSBigSur

Thank you for making this.

I've installed .pkg file, rebooted my macbook and got this f*king update reminder again

Great project ! Did you plan to make an autopkg recipe ?

At some point I installed bigsurblocker and now that I tried to completely uninstall it I am getting this:

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker.plist: Could not find specified service
Could not find service.
rm: /Library/LaunchAgents/com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker.plist: Permission denied
Unknown error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "“com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker.bom” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access it." UserInfo={NSUserStringVariant=(

Forgot package 'com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker' on '/'.

What am I doing wrong? It might be stg obvious to you that I am missing perhaps not running it with sudo u mention in the uninstall section but I am not quite sure how to do that. Would greatly appreciate your help.

I installed on MacOS Catalina, 10.15.7.

I copied your uninstall script to a RemoveBigSurBlocker.sh ; chmod 755

running: ./RemoveBigSurBlocker.sh returns 2 errors:

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker.plist: No such file or directory
No receipt for 'com.hjuutilainen.bigsurblocker' found at '/'.

/Library/LaunchAgents/ contains

Neither matches for hjuutilainen nor bigsurblocker

launchctl list | grep bigsur
ps -A | grep bigsur

has no matches either.

I am strongly disinclined to perform a clean install of the latest OS. I would like to apply a live upgrade with installed apps and whatnot.

Please advise

Thanks for the great app.
Just a small question: How likely is it that i.e. the name of the installer changes and the app doen't block it anymore?

Thanks for this project!

Just wondering, will macOS continue to detect that an update is available and nag you to upgrade with this installed?
