Rather than patching nVidia's Info.plist, we may be able to distribute our own signed codeless kext that forwards onto NVDAStartupWeb.kext, in a similar fashion to what I do with Heimdall.

The installer would still need to be patched, but it means NVDAStartupWeb.kext is totally unpatched.

This has pros and cons... just thinking at this point.

This is perhaps also similar to what NVDAEGPUSupport does as it leaves the Web Drivers untouched (although it is not codeless, it overrides classes, etc.), yes? Patching the installer is still a lot better than patching kexts and repairing its permissions I would presume.

PS: Great work on the script 👍

I haven't checked it out yet, but @vulgo has put together a codeless kext which we could consider signing:
