Uncheck “Automatically check for updates'Īt this point, a properly compatible MobileDevice framework should now be installed but any plug-ins which previously failed verification will need to be re-verified in order to allow their use in Logic.ĭO NOT INSTALL ANY FURTHER SECURITY OR DEVICE UPDATES ON THAT VERSION OF OSX or a faulty MobileDevice framework is likely to be installed again.Verify that the MobileDevice framework is now the correct version (988.222.1) by entering this command in the Terminal: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleVersion' /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/amework/Versions/Current/Resources/ist Double-click the “Install iTunes.pkg” installer in that disk image.Install a known good MobileDevice framework via the iTunes 12.8.2 installer, which is available via a link on this official Apple page (not the main download button, but the inline link below that reads '10.11 and 10.12 users download iTunes 12.8.2 here.”): From the finder, navigate to the folder /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/.

Now remove the faulty MobileDevice framework: Select Utilities->Terminal from main menu.Select a preferred language if prompted.Release the cmd and ‘R’ keys when the progress bar appears.Press and hold cmd-R while starting the computer.There does not appear to be a way to avoid this, since the faulty framework is located in a System folder and SIP must be disabled to remove or replace it. Unfortunately, it requires the user to temporarily disable SIP. Unfortunately that is often not possible.įor systems running OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan) the following workaround has been verified relying solely on official Apple downloads. The ideal workaround is to recover a version of MobileDevice framework from a backup of the target computer prior to the bad update. Known GOOD versions compatible with OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan:Īs of 22 August 2022, Apple Software Update is still pushing the BAD 1369.122.1.100.2 version of amework on 10.11.6 El Capitan systems. Known BAD versions incompatible with OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan: If the command fails rather than printing a version #, see footnote (1). The easiest way to identify the version # of the installed framework is to issue the following command in the Terminal: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleVersion' /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/amework/Versions/Current/Resources/ist Not ideal by any means, but it IS a way to for users to get their legacy systems functioning again without resorting to bypasses of the verification process or installing frameworks modified by third parties, or depending on individually patched plug-ins from every vendor. Users will have to disable SIP to swap out the framework, and have to continue to avoid further updates that will reinstall the bad framework. TL DR is Apple is still pushing the bad framework, but a working one for at least 10.11 (El Capitan) systems can be reinstalled via iTunes 12.8.2, after the bad one is deleted.
