Setting environment variables via launchd.conf no longer works in OS X Yosemite/El Capitan/macOS Sierra/Mojave?

Question

It looks like the launchd.conf does not load my environment variable anymore. Has anyone else noticed that?

Is there another solution to permanently set

After much deliberation, engineering has removed this feature. The file /etc/launchd.conf was intentionally removed for security reasons. As a workaround, you could run launchctl limit as root early during boot, perhaps from a LaunchDaemon. (...)

Solution:

Put code in to /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.launchd.limit.plist by bash-script:

#!/bin/bash

echo '



        Label
        eicar
        ProgramArguments
        
                /bin/launchctl
                limit
                core
                unlimited
        
        RunAtLoad
        
        ServiceIPC
        

' | sudo tee /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.launchd.limit.plist
