Editing Canon EOS Webcam Utility patch guide (section)

==For macOS==
<ol>
<li> Install the PKG from https://www.usa.canon.com/cameras/eos-webcam-utility </li>
<li> When finished installing, navigate to <code>/Applications/EOS Webcam Utility/EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app</code></li>
<li> Right click > "Show package contents"</li>
<li> Right click "Contents" > "Get info", and give your user read and write permission over the directory (ensure you click "..." > "Apply to enclosed items")</li>
<li> Install the <code>asar</code> CLI utility.</li>
<li> Open a terminal inside of <code>EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app/Contents/Resources</code></li>
<li> Extract the application by running: <code>asar e app.asar appunpk</code></li>
<li> Open <code>appunpk/eos-webcam-utility/main.<abunchofnumbers>.js</code></li>
<li> Find the constructor for <code>class t</code> by looking for the instance of <code>this.selectMode$</code></li>
<li> In the class, define the function <code>getValue()</code> as follows...
<pre>
class t extends d1 {
    constructor(e, n) { ... }
    getValue() {
        return {
            "entities":{},
            "ids":[],
            "loading":true,
            "error":null,
            "mode":"PAID",
            "username": "consumer_rights",
            "profile": {
                "nickname": "consumer_rights"
            },
            "uuid": "1234567890",
            "active": 1,
            "isPro": true,
            "subscription": {
                "val": {
                    "status": {
                        "displayStatus": "ACTIVE"
                    }
                }
            },
            "keyAuth": "1234567890"
        }
    }
}
</pre>
<li> Now, search for <code>checkAuthUser() {</code>, and replace the contents of the <code>.subscribe(n => {</code> call such that it looks something like this:
<pre>
this.event$.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></li>
<li>edit <code>appunpk/package.json</code> by removing the line: <code>"eos-addon": "file:./build",</code></li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Reverse the change from step 12.</li>
<li> Ensure you are in the <code>EOS Webcam Utility Pro.app/Contents/Resources</code> directory before running: <code>asar p appunpk app.asar</code></li>
</ol>
You <I>should</I> now have a patched Canon EOS Webcam Utility application that does not require a subscription to use.
