'''This method has not been tested thoroughly, and technical expertise may be required.'''

== For macOS ==

# Install the PKG from https://www.usa.canon.com/cameras/eos-webcam-utility
# When finished installing, navigate to <code>/Applications/EOS Webcam Utility/EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app</code>
# Right click > "Show package contents"
# Right click "Contents" > "Get info", and give your user read and write permission over the directory (ensure you click "..." > "Apply to enclosed items")
# Install the <code>asar</code> CLI utility.
# Open a terminal inside of <code>EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app/Contents/Resources</code>
# Extract the application by running: <code>asar e app.asar appunpk</code>
# Open <code>appunpk/eos-webcam-utility/main.<abunchofnumbers>.js</code>
# Find the constructor for <code>class t</code> by looking for the instance of <code>this.selectMode$</code>
# In the class, define the function <code>getValue()</code> as follows...

<pre>
class t extends d1 {
constructor(e, n) { ... }
getValue() {
return {
"entities":{},
"ids":[],
"loading":true,
"error":null,
"mode":"PAID",
"username": "consumer_rights",
"profile": {
"nickname": "consumer_rights"
},
"uuid": "1234567890",
"active": 1,
"isPro": true,
"subscription": {
"val": {
"status": {
"displayStatus": "ACTIVE"
}
}
},
"keyAuth": "1234567890"
}
}
}
</pre>

11. Now, search for <code>checkAuthUser() {</code>, and replace the contents of the <code>.subscribe(n => {</code> call such that it looks something like this:

<pre>
this.event$.pipe(ql(2e3)).subscribe(n => {
this.changeToPaidMode()
})

// below the above call, there will be code that handles the "get-authen-user" event.
// replace the ternary expression: h ? e.subscriptionRegister(c, f, m) : e.subscriptionUnregister(), with: e.subscriptionRegister(c, f, m)
</pre>

12. edit <code>appunpk/package.json</code> by removing the line: <code>"eos-addon": "file:./build",</code>
13. Run <code>npm install</code>
14. Reverse the change from step 12.
15. Ensure you are in the <code>EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app/Contents/Resources</code> directory before running: <code>asar p appunpk app.asar</code>

You <I>should</I> now have a patched Canon EOS Webcam Utility application that does not require a subscription to use.
