Crackover (Complete free version of crossover)

README.md

hi all!

This script is no long maintained, however i do have a friend who has made a far better solution to this problem!

please see https://github.com/totallynotinteresting/crossover for more info :)

if possible could you please star his repo too?

Currently trying to run the new script and im getting an error that says "CrossOver.app was not found at please make sure that CrossOver.app is in /Applications/". I have crossover installed but my trial expired so it default to the Buy or Quit screen. And yes its in applications. Plz help.

Specs 16" M1 Pro 16gb 1tb Tahoe 26.2

@Alfabravo22 could you please run ls -l /Applications/CrossOver.app in the terminal and post the output here? Thanks, also if possible could you make an issue on the repo so it's easier to track this? Thanks

Ofc man, love your work btw.
Here's the output:

lemme take a look, might be my script thats broken, will get back to you soon

@Alfabravo22 just made an update to the script, was a bug in my code, should be working now :)

Looks like it worked after a couple tries, could be something on my end cuz after 3 attempts it prompted me to manual list the app location, then that fixed it. Thank you @totallynotinteresting, truly amazing work!

no problem!
