Patch did not work for me on High Sierra
Hi Farhan,
The patch has worked for me for many years however it i no longer working on High Sierra.
I notice it stopped working, downloaded 1.1. Disabled SIP. Rebooted. Ran 1.1. It said patched already - I rewatched for the hell of it. Rebooted. iTunes still launches using the play button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Chris

Sorry here are the logs ..

Disabling the Play button (and other useful buttons) in Preferences/Keyboard/"Use F1 F2 etc as standard function keys" did work ..
Hi, @gigantaur, sorry, I have been quite busy lately. There is a known issue with High Sierra that I need to work on and this is likely because of it. I will try to get to this soon.
Thanks heaps for the reply.
A fantastic contribution that you make in doing this - one many of us really appreciate.
Do you think you will be able to avoid the need recovery mode to turn off the system protection - even a sudo command line script to start or finish would be better than the whole recovery mode ..
Cheers Chris

@gigantaur, I don’t think that will work. One of the points of System Integrity Protection is that a remote attacker can’t modify the system code, even if they acquire root.

Until the patch is updated one can always run
sudo chmod -x /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes to completely turn off iTunes. Of course this doesn't work if you actually use iTunes 😏.
@aaether32323 that solution doesn't work for me:
sudo chmod -x /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes
chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes: Operation not permitted
