Cannot rebuild kext cache (M1 Mac)

Hello!

I'm trying to modify the version of a kernel extension on macOS to use a previous one.

I managed to replace the .kext file in /System/Library/Extensions with the one I want to use. However, from my understanding, macOS keeps a version of the kext in cache.

when I use kmutil showloaded, I still see the pre-change version of the kext, not the correct one.

when I try using kmutil install -u --force --volume-root, I get the following error message, and I couldn't figure out why:

Not rebuilding KC for arch: 'arm64e'
kmutil done

Still, everything seems to be in order in my kext folder.

Thank you in advance for you help.

Are you trying to build kext ? On which MacOS version ? They are now deprecated: https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/
