Uninstall Issues

mo4ya2000 opened this issue ยท 11 comments

Even though I use the uninstall I still had to remove the app separately. I've done that but SIMBLAgent.app stays in the activity log as running and every time I open an app it keeps wanting permission. How do I remove this off of my macbook air on OSX Mojave ?

Same issue here... macbook pro Mojave

Same problem, very frustrating

Same issue. Especially given the fact that on the newer versions of Mac, it constantly bombards me with popups requesting access to various apps. What do I do?

This command worked for me:

sudo rm -r "/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/SIMBLAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/SIMBLAgent"

Which is quite strange: although /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/ folder did not exist on my machine, the command successfully deleted the above file and, after manually killing the process afterwards, it did not respawn again.

For me this doesn't solve the problem. Keeps asking for annoying permissions. Using uninstall in mySimbl doesn't do anything. Throwing Mysimbl in the bin doesn't do anything to the permissions either.

Run this command:

sudo /Applications/mySIMBL.app/Contents/Frameworks/SIMBLManager.framework/Versions/A/Resources/removeSIMBL

As I understand from this post, mySIMBL contains a script that uninstalls all the components, but for some reason it is not being run with administrator privileges as it should... To fix this, run the script yourself using sudo as I showed in the previous comment.

@cryptosmoka, I ran that command after disabling the integrity protection in my Mac. Before doing so, I was also unable to do anything.

I'm guessing the script is maybe failing because SIP is on? The thing is that the agent is outside of SIP restricted areas and one file failing to remove shouldn't kill the script.

I think I'm going to switch to a .pkg installer and uninstaller.

Hi w0lfschild
I'm having the same problem mentioned here since I move to Mojave with my new macbook pro. I desinstall and reinstall MySimbl but nor I can't run ColorSideBar, neither I got the annoying prompt on any app opening. Do you plan to release a .pkg soon ?
