How to enable kext- MacOS15.5 Sequoia

[tomlawton]

Hi-

Install went OK, but on launching Phidget Control Panel, I'm not prompted to permit the kext to load, nothing shows in System Settings> Privacy & Security, and I get

Kext load failed (Code: 4). You may need to reinstall the Phidgets libraries. If you still have issues, contact Phidgets.

The kext is present in /Library/Extensions/, and the frameworks are in /Library/Frameworks/
M2 MacBook Air, MacOS15.5
What am I missing?

Hi,

You may want to use the standalone control panel instead of the installer - this uses a system extension instead of a kext.

To use the kext on an Apple Silicon mac, you may need to boot into recovery and enable third party kernel extensions. This shouldn't be necessary because the kext is codeless, but in reality, it seems to depend on the mac/os version. See: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/m ... 8f7291/mac

Depending on what Phidgets you are using, you may not need the kext/system extension at all.
