Update:

It happens quite rarely to need to disable System Integrity Protection, as this Macos security component does not affect the running of applications or other Macos features and features. SIP is a system that helps prevent unauthorized changes in the operating system and its applications.

I've been writing passionately since 2004 about Windows and Linux operating systems, and since 2010 I've become a fan of Apple University. I'm currently writing tutorials for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and other Apple devices.
