Utilities -> "Repair Permission" throws "Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions"

[Jaroslav84]

Hey!

First of all, awesome tool! New golden standard app for the Hackintosh community!
Keep up the good work.

My issue
When I run Utilities -> Rebuild KextCache & Repair Permissions I get this red coloured error log in the end:

Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions: <OSKext 0x7fa446621880 [0x7fff912328c0]> { URL = "file:///Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext/", ID = "com.apple.driver.KextExcludeList" }
/Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext does not authenticate; omitting.

Hackintool Versions (basically any) : 3.2.4 (0324) - 3.4.0.0340
Catalina 10.15.4 (19E287)
Clover 5108
GateKeeper disabled

What can it be?
So it's the famous blacklist kext: AppleKextExcludeList.kext...

I already tried to do these steps with no success

• replace the kext with the original copy found at:

(S/L/Templates/Data/Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext

• manually fix permissions
• chowned and rooted the sh1t out of it
• fix parent dir folder permissions

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext

...and nothing :(
..Google is also not a good friend.

How can I fix this? Maybe this is system integrity protection related? I have SIP off.

Maybe I messed up the file (I was playing with it):
My AppleKextExcludeList.kext file size on latest Catalina 10.15.4 (19E287) is:

3 024 179 bytes

Yours too?

PS: Rhetorical question/suggestion: why don't you add "Clover+OC Configurator in One" functionality too (all in one)?

OMG, the issue is:

/Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext

and not:

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext

How could I miss this 🤦

the fix is:

sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Apple/System/Library/Extensions/AppleKextExcludeList.kext
