G-mem issue on Mac

I cloned the G-Mem application, and I found out that the program exits when checking whether a specific process is a flash process

int is_flash_process(int pid) 

Specifically it exits the program at

ERROR_A:
    fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, failed\n");
    exit(2);

When I replace the exit(2) statement with

free(procargs);

It does successfully parse all the processes.

Then this check fails:

    kret = task_for_pid(mach_task_self_, mPid, &task);
    if (kret != KERN_SUCCESS)
    {
        std::cout << "task_for_pid() failed. kret = " << kret << "\n";
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

Instead I get

#define KERN_FAILURE                    5
/* The function could not be performed.  A catch-all.
 */

This is likely due to me having SIP on, will try again in a bit with SIP off.

Update: Okay even with SIP disabled the issue persists.

I found the following post on stackoverflow: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/701647
It states that for security reasons in later version of MacOS task_for_pid only works for processes that have com.apple.security.get-task-allow set and are running as root, so this applies to the Habbo client.
I am not sure how to set get-task-allow yet.
