A shell script that enables Apple Intelligence on Macs sold in Mainland China by patching macOS eligibility checks (eligibilityd plist files) and optionally spoofing the device region to the US. It temporarily requires disabling SIP but does not need a persistent background service or permanently disabled SIP.
Use cases
- enable Apple Intelligence on a China-market Mac
- unlock Siri ChatGPT integration on macOS in China
- bypass Apple AI eligibility checks without disabling SIP permanently
- force macOS region to US to unlock geo-restricted features
- enable Foundation Models framework on unsupported Macs
When to choose
- you own an M1+ Mac sold in Mainland China running macOS 15.4.1+ through 26.5 beta3 and want Apple Intelligence
- you want a one-time permanent patch instead of a background daemon
- you can temporarily disable SIP and follow recovery-mode steps
When to avoid
- you are on macOS 26.5 beta 4 or later, where the method no longer works
- you are unwilling to disable SIP even temporarily or modify system files
- you rely on iPhone Mirroring and have not yet paired your iPhone
- you need a fully supported, license-compliant configuration
