SIMBL Agent crashing frequently
I just replaced a MacBook Pro running High Sierra with a new MacBook Pro M1 running Big Sur, and migrated my applications and accounts using Migration Assistant.
I noticed this evening that ReportCrash
is using quite a bit of CPU, sometimes as much as 25% in both my regular user account and my admin account. I opened Console and saw that there were lots of Crash Reports from SIMBL Agent -- every 20-30 minutes in my user account and even more frequently in the admin account.
I removed the directories ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL
and /Library/Application Support/SIMBL
(they both just contained SafariSource.bundle
), but this didn't solve the problem.
Then I checked system.log
, and every few seconds it's logging
Aug 29 00:11:05 Barry-Margolins-MacBook com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (net.culater.SIMBL.Agent[29138]): removing service since it exited with consistent failure - OS_REASON_OBJC | Objective-C garbage collection is no longer supported.
Aug 29 00:11:05 Barry-Margolins-MacBook com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (net.culater.SIMBL.Agent): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.
I tried killing this launchd service with
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
and got the error:
/Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist: Could not find specified service
Unload failed: 113: Could not find specified service
What do I have to do to kill this?
I removed the file
/Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
and rebooted, and this has stopped.
