karabiner 14.13.0 fails to start manager on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1

Opening the settings show the "please allow" overlay. I've tried many solutions, from Karabiner reinstall, to startup in safe mode. Manually starting from a terminal shows a different error. What else is there to try?

Same here

@tbee , @aspauldingcode , are you computers managed by corporate IT at all?

I have the issue with Karabiner V14.13.24 on Ventura 13.6.6 (22G630). I believe it might be to do with my IT department not allowing the installation of software that is not from 'App store or identified developers'. When I (re)install Karabiner or reactivate the driver, I do not get the prompt to allow it.

It's a hunch but the best idea I have at present.

@TheRealMXDDXM my computer is in a grey zone. We have Microsoft Defender installed, there are entries in the settings (you can find that elsewhere on the interwebs) to show that it is managing, but it is not set blocking anything. I can turn it off if I want, but that does not seem to help.

@TheRealMXDDXM No, but My issue has been fixed as of V 14.13.14 and I've turned off SIP, AMFI, Library Validation, and it is currently working for me on Sonoma 14.4.1.

I don't know how, or why, but I woke up one day and it was fixed. Probably adding AMFI disable flag to nvram.
