Hi there! I see you're getting a root access warning with the NIIMBOT app, and you'd like to resolve this message on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7. Could you clarify a bit more about when exactly this root access message appears? For example, is it showing up when you launch the NIIMBOT app, during installation, or while trying to connect your printer?
Generally, the "root access" message means the app detects that it's running on a device or environment with elevated permissions (like jailbroken or rooted devices on mobile) or modified system access, which can pose security risks. Even though this is more common on Android or mobile platforms, sometimes apps can detect system modifications on computers too.
Here are some initial steps to help you troubleshoot this on your Mac:
1. Verify System Integrity:
Since you're on macOS Catalina (10.15.7), make sure your system is running unmodified and hasn’t been manually altered (e.g., no third-party system tweaks or unauthorized root-level system changes). You can check System Preferences > Security & Privacy for any unusual permissions.
2. Run the App Normally:
Quit the NIIMBOT app completely and relaunch it without running any higher privilege tools (like Terminal with sudo) or developer mode enabled.
3. Update the NIIMBOT App:
Ensure you have the latest version of the NIIMBOT app from their official source. Sometimes older versions may misidentify system states or have bugs triggering false root warnings.
4. Reinstall the NIIMBOT App:
Uninstall the app completely and reinstall it fresh. This can clear cached data that might cause false security warnings.
5. Check for Third-Party Security Software:
Sometimes antivirus or security apps can interfere with NIIMBOT’s system checks. Temporarily disable those and see if the warning goes away.
If you have already done some of these or can share what exact steps you took before the message appeared, that would help me provide more tailored advice. Also, what version of the NIIMBOT app are you running?
Let me know, and we’ll get this sorted out!
