- This will bring up a list of installed extensions.
- Go through the list, check for the app’s extension that shouldn’t be there, and uninstall it.
- Likewise, also delete it from the below location:

1 extension(s) --- com.apple.system_extension.cmio enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state] * 7GJANK3822 com.obsbot.OBSBOT_Center.mcext (1.0.0/217) com.obsbot.OBSBOT_Center.mcext [activated waiting for user]
