It still works if you turn off SIP. This is the same on Apple Silicon and Intel. However, for these purpose of tracking file accesses, I recommend using `eslogger` instead, as it doesn’t require disabling SIP and is faster, among other advantages.
It’ll show all file events. No need to disable SIP. SIP is doing a lot of good work for users and unless you’re doing kernel work or low level coding I’d keep it enabled. Obv. There are other cases but for the general public keep it on.
It’s personal preference. If the security people had their way we’d all be developing on iPads. If SIP interferes with your work: turn it off. Linux doesn’t have SIP and it’s just fine to develop on Linux as well.
100% agree. We would put everyone on chromebooks if we had our way. I don’t think it’s good for productivity and generating new ideas for a company so I never advocate for it.
