## Description

enableAppleAI is a utility designed to unlock region-restricted system services and artificial intelligence features on macOS. It functions by spoofing device region codes and bypassing eligibility checks to enable Apple Intelligence on hardware sold in restricted markets.

The tool modifies system country code cache files and locks geographic location caches to simulate supported regions. These modifications are performed in a manner that allows for system-level overrides without requiring the permanent disablement of System Integrity Protection.

The project includes capabilities for intercepting internal eligibility status and managing system file permissions. It also provides functions to revert these modifications and restore the device to its original system state.
