macOS Sequoia Working and Non-Working Apps

[flowrider]

^^^^I had no issues using Photoshop V25.9.1 in Beta 2 or in Beta 3. However, Adobe Bridge V14.1.1.274 is broken In Beta 2 and still broken in Beta 3. As in the early builds of Sonoma, Bridge does not recognize a USB attached camera.

Seems to be one of the GPUs is a bit funny. I took that one out and I'm testing further. Photoshop working fine with a single W6800X Duo.

Wipr 2 (content blocker for Safari) seems to be working fine since Beta 3.
In the previous two betas it did work, but there used to be a dialog box asking for giving Wipr access to files every time you opened Safari.

Edit: I'm using the beta version of Wipr 2

Beta 3 is the first beta Sequoia I installed.

Apps that seem to work fine on Beta 3 that I have not seen mentioned in this thread yet:

• Table Plus 6.1.2
• Tower 11.1 (git)
• QFinder Pro (QNAP management app)
• AudezeHQ
• Beyond Compare 5 Beta
• "Good old" TextMate 2
• Nova 11.9 (Panic's *everything* editor)
• Zeplin 10.7.0
• Unity Hub and Unity 2021.3.38f1 ARM and Unity 2022.3.19f1 (I have not opened other versions yet)
• Text Expander 7.7.1

Also good to see that there are no problems with iFi headphone amps plugged into USB-C.

 

[BackToMac2017]

Does not work for me with beta 3 (crashes when opening):

• Gifox 2

I installed it from the app store.

Any updates about MS Teams on PB?

Any updates about MS Teams on PB?

It's still broken, but there is some kind of workaround: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...re.2431080/page-3?post=33265946#post-33265946

Since the first beta I've been having trouble with Whatsapp Desktop. It works, but if I start typing something and go to another app, when I come back the input box in unresponsive until I quit Whatsapp and open it again. Luckily, the text is not missing, but it's stilll annoying.

Is anybody else seeing this same behaviour?

 

[BaggieBoy]

It's claimed that Audacity 3.5.1 crashes at startup, not seeing that here.

 

[organerito]

Has anyone tested Goodsync?

Thanks

 

[RSmith2023]

Has anyone tried vmWare Horizon client ?

I am looking for the same...

Non-Working Apps:

Name of the App	Version of the App	Comment (what doesn't work?)
eqMAC	1.8.7	App loads and seems functional but no changes in sound at all. No Errors
14.1.1 Adobe Bridge will not recognize an attached camera for pict downloading [TD]Apache will not start on Mamp (Mamp Pro seems unaffected) NGINX Works still on both versions. (FIXED IN BETA 2)
Indigo	1.0.0-rc.8a	Apache will not start
Xampp	8.2.4	Apache will not start
Loopback	2.4.0	Disabled by RogueAmoeba
SoundSource	2.5.3	Disabled by RogueAmoeba
Tunnelblick	6.0beta01 (build 6050)	Fails to open. (version 4 and 5 work)

• App Cleaner and Uninstaller DOES NOT work. Site says wait for update coming by Sep. They did the same with past MacOS updates. other comment: AppCleaner is working for me after updating to Sequoia, but seems like, just with many other apps, trying to install on a fresh system is failing.
• Audacity 3.5.1 crashes on launch (3.6 cannot be verified)
• Default Folder X 6.0.7 not working in dialog boxes. Beta 6.1b1 works (available here)
• DisplayMaid - It no longer restores windows positions
• Enpass extension doesn't appear to be working. -> confirmed NOK (longtom)
• Garmin Express 7.22.1 cannot connect with background services
• LucidLink
• Maccy 0.31.0 - opens fine but won't recognize key combo to view clipboard history
• macFUSE < 4.8.0
• Retrospect Backup not working correctly
• Sky Go - crashes on launch 24.1.3-2
• Speaker Amp
• Suite Studios
• Textbar - runs but does not see wifi networks
• TinyGrab - V2.5.1 (Author went offline in 2016, so I guess this was expected)
• Topspin 4.3.0
• Virtualization.framework w/ Rosetta (breaks all Rosetta-reliant functionality provided by Virtualization.framework, including Linux VMs in Parallels with Rosetta enabled, as well as running x86-64 Docker containers using OrbStackor Docker Desktop)
  • EDIT: OrbStack has updated and fixed this issue, x86-64 containers now run under Rosetta again
• Xnip 2.2.3 - App opens fine but won't recognize key combo to take screenshots

ISSUES

• Adguard is only partly working -you can use it if set as automatic proxy -Sequoia doesn't let you install network extension so it does not work with it. Installs correctly with Beta 2 and Adgurad for Mac 2.14.1.1603
• Microsoft Teams works as messaging but will not share screen out
• Mullvad installed without problems and seems to run OK BUT although I am apparently connected to a secure server in London, BBC iPlayer detects that I am not in the UK. Tried clearing browser cookies and restarting but same problem. Reported to Mullvad devs.
• Proton Drive (It will install and authenticate but cannot pull in the encrypted files). Work around = use web interface. I notified the Proton dev team via their feedback forms
• Zoom Meeting works well except for:1. I cannot share apps or windows - only sharing my entire desktop works. 2. Every time I join wearing my APP2, I am told I sound like Mickey Mouse. When I leave and rejoin, I sound "normal"
• Davinci Resolve does not yet work properly. Resolve itself will open but cant read the media files (a7s3 files tested). The project saved on macos 15 beta will corrupt the original project file on Sonoma as well.

Please consider the risks before installing developer beta software.

I can confirm that the following apps are working fine so far in the first public beta of Sequoia:

• Matlab R2024a
• Mathematica 14.0.0
• Yoink 3.6.92
• PopClip 2024.5.2
• Alfred 5.5 (with the Powerpack)
• Neptunes 3.2.5
• Downlink 2.6
• Time Machine Schedule 1.16.0
• Skim 1.7.3

I hope this helps.

Teams (Classic) works well for screen sharing, the new Teams does not. There are lags of 10-15 seconds.

Version 15.0 Beta (24A5289h)

 

[jpdunn13]

Glad I'm not the only one having that.

Cleared the security settings and added it back again but it just shows a blank screen. Also randomly crashes to desktop at that point.

I switched back to Teams Classic and the screen sharing works. Will not work on the new Teams.

 

[PSI70Y]

Someone else posted before but it looks like VideoToolbox (h265) is broken in Sequoia B3

Is anybody else seeing this same behaviour?

Yup, I'm getting this too.

On another note, I see that AppCleaner is listed as not working.

I am running a fresh install of Sequoia Beta 3 and just installed AppCleaner and it's working ok - the only thing I had to do was give it full drive access in settings.

 

[Tranel]

Malwarebytes is not able to update. Get an error message. But it still works.

 

[bperkins]

I am looking for the same...

RSmith2023 and boillatl I can confirm that VMWare Horizon Client works V 2406 build 8.13.0.

 

[GuillaumeB]

I would not list Pixelmator Pro as "working" on macOS Sequoia.
I got several crashes when trying to add a vector layers on top of a photo.
Tha app quit unexpectedly several times on my MacBook Pro M1.
Never did that before

On another note, as usual, pCloud is not working either. it never does on macOS beta. The Drive cannot be mounted within the Finder

 

[BaggieBoy]

Sky Go 24.1.3-2 crashed on start up, Sky have a new version (24.1.3-3) that appears to work.

And Bridge is still broken in Beta 5👎🏼

[TopToffee]

Is the new Teams still broken on the latest beta?

 

[NJRonbo]

Anyone having issues with Fantastical? It says it can't run unless allowed to run in the background. I go to settings, it has the permissions to run in the background, but I still get the error message

 

[flowrider]

A new version of Bridge V14.1.2.300 was released yesterday. Still not working in Beta 5.

Steam games are not launching - Borderlands 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and Baldur's Gate 3. Oddly, Dust: An Elysian Tale runs fine.
