This project aims to achieve permanent use of Xcode LLM/Apple Intelligence on any Mac without disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) or only disabling it once.
Note
Xcode LLM is only supported on macOS 15.0+
Apple Intelligence is only supported on macOS 15.1+
this project is for learning and research purposes only.
If you choose to use this project, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws.
The author of this project is not responsible for any consequences that may arise from your use of this project.
Need one time SIP disable + "amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1" set boot-args in during the script.
Tip
If you have issue on how to disable SIP or set boot-args, see Manual Execution section for more detail.

Note
The override file method is mutually exclusive.
This repository only provides separate override files for Xcode LLM and Apple Intelligence.
If you want to override multi key, please use util tool method and export the override file for your future use.

-
Disable SIP in recovery mode with
csrutil disable
-
Add boot argument by
sudo nvram boot-args="amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1"
and reboot -
Download
eligibility_util
from the release page and add executable permission.
The following command example assumes the downloaded file is in the
~/Downloads
folder.
chmod +x ~/Downloads/eligibility_util
- Execute the following command
cd ~/Downloads
# For XcodeLLM:
./eligibility_util forceDomainAnswer --domain-name OS_ELIGIBILITY_DOMAIN_XCODE_LLM --answer 4
# For Apple Intelligence (macOS 15.1+ required)
./eligibility_util forceDomainAnswer --domain-name OS_ELIGIBILITY_DOMAIN_GREYMATTER --answer 4
# For Cleanup as part of Apple Intelligence feature (macOS 15.1 Beta 3+ required)
./eligibility_util forceDomainAnswer --domain-name OS_ELIGIBILITY_DOMAIN_STRONTIUM --answer 4
-
Enable SIP in recovery mode with
csrutil enable
and reboot. -
Remove boot argument by
sudo nvram -d boot-args
Read Disabling and Enabling System Integrity Protection if you are unfamiliar with SIP operation.
You can only set boot-args in recovery mode or normal mode with SIP disabled.
After setting boot-args, remember to reboot to make the change take effect.
Tip
For more technical detail, see Kyle-Ye/eligibility
No SIP disabled needed in total.
- Download the corresponding
*.eligibility_overrides.data
file from the release page and rename it toeligibility_overrides.data
For Xcode LLM, download xcodellm.eligibility_overrides.data
For Apple Intelligence, download greymatter.eligibility_overrides.data
- Find the correct container uuid for
eligibilityd
under/private/var/root/Library/Daemon\ Containers
List all container uuid by the following command:
sudo ls /private/var/root/Library/Daemon\ Containers
- Move downloaded file in the first step to the
Data/Library/Caches/NeverRestore/
folder of the corresponding Deamon container. If you are not sure which one is the correct container directory for eligibilityd, you can try it one by one or add the downloaded files to all Deamon containers.
sudo mkdir /private/var/root/Library/Daemon\ Containers/<UUID>/Data/Library/Caches/NeverRestore
sudo cp eligibility_overrides.data /private/var/root/Library/Daemon\ Containers/<UUID>/Data/Library/Caches/NeverRestore/
- Relaunch the
eligibilityd
service
sudo pkill -9 eligibilityd
sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.eligibilityd
Tip
The difference of eligibility_util and eligibility_util_sip is that the former is for SIP disabled environment and the latter is for SIP enabled environment.
- If you see the following output
zsh: no such file or directory: ./eligibility_util
Please make sure the current working directory contains the eligibility_util
file.
- If you see the following output
zsh: permission denied: ./eligibility_util
Please make sure you have added the executable permission to the eligibility_util
file via chmod +x ./eligibility_util
.(Check step 3 in Manual Execution)
- If you see the following output
>[1] 61672 killed ./eligibility_util
Please make sure you have disabled SIP and set the boot-args correctly. (Check step 1 and 2 in Manual Execution)
- Other issue
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kyle-Ye/XcodeLLMEligible/release/0.2/scripts/override.sh | bash -s -- doctor
If you are unable to access the Daemon Container related folders, please check if the terminal app you are using has full disk access permission.
Path: Settings.app > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access -> Add your terminal app to the list and enable it.
- Confirom the override is working and you have the correct answer.
./eligibility_util_sip getDomainAnswer --domain-name OS_ELIGIBILITY_DOMAIN_XCODE_LLM
- Reenable SIP and then open Xcode to download Model.
See detail for #4
