Latest Sierra not supported

[sparky672]

Getting an "unsupported OS" error on latest version of Sierra released today.

10.12.6 (16G29)

[phtmgt]

Does not work on High Sierra Beta 2 either.

@sparky672 sorry i'm busy now. I'll upload patch file today.

@finkbg upload Terminal screen picture!

[pookjw]

@sparky672 now supports 16G29

Terminal finishes process fine. Once the system reboots there is no notification panel and night Shift is not working as before. Once I restore the backup the notifications panel immediately appears.

@finkbg can you try with this one? Just baked it, use it at your own risk. Use it with sudo and SIP disabled.

Worked for me on 10.12.6 update. Not tested on 10.13.x.

@finkbg Works well on macOS High Sierra Public Beta 2. Seems like your Mac's binaries are broken.

@aonez Works well on macOS High Sierra Develper Beta 3. Great idea.

Thanks @pookjw! Being using your patch for some time now, just wanted to see if an "all-time" patch can be made, so it is not necessary to release a new patch version on every macOS update.

You can use the code if you like to. Let me know if you do so then I'll no longer improve mine.

What are you talking about?? I'm using Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) that was released yesterday.

No Beta. Not High Sierra.

@sparky672 oops,Sorry! 16G29 is now supported and that's my mistake.

[pookjw]

@aonez I'll add your code to NightPatch soon. Thanks. :)

Ok, aonez's solution now confirmed to be working even on latest high sierra beta (developer 4/public 3). Issue with my system seems to have been missing xcode tools (xcrun?).
