This looks like a Hackintosh with a much newer Intel CPU than Apple has ever shipped. I don't think we'll be supporting this anymore.

CPU model check added for the next version. We're no longer supporting Intel CPUs older than Skylake or newer than Ice Lake (which is the newest Intel Mac that Apple has made).

Released in v1.6.1.

Sorry for the badly-handled compatibility issues with old and new Intel CPUs in v1.6.0. We didn't see this coming, so the app wasn't built to handle it.

• 4th/5th generation Intel CPUs (Haswell/Broadwell) should be working again. These older CPUs aren't a priority, but we'll continue best-effort support for all CPUs officially supported by the macOS versions that we support. Please let me know if there are still issues on these models.
• 11th generation and newer are not supported. Apple has never shipped an Intel CPU after 10th gen, so this is only possible on Hackintoshes. Since Hackintoshes are not officially supported at all by Apple, we have no plans to support them either.
• A CPU model check has been added, so the app will give a clear error message on unsupported CPUs.
• All Apple Silicon CPUs are supported and have never been affected by these issues.

@kdrag0n Thanks for the update, sad to hear that you follow Apple commercial plans. I would see official support as one thing and compatibility as another thing, of course if it would not imply high effort to accomplish, considering that until this new version it worked perfectly. Many developers invested in more powerful hardware that Apple was not offering, and compatibility for it would be an appreciated plus. If MacOS can perfectly run on it, why not? Thanks!
