Catalina (Mac OS 10.15) as of June 4, 2019

DON'T UPGRADE TO CATALINA AT THIS POINT

Hello Mac users - I know that you're all curious about Logos and Catalina.

I'm signed up as an Apple Developer, so I was able to download and install Catalina last night on a separate partition, and then downloaded Logos 8.

At this point the Logos installer will download the library, but crashes when Logos itself attempts to open.

As updates to Catalina are released, I'll test them and let you know what happens.

Thanks for doing this Greg!

Or, as a parishioner once expressed it to me, "You want to be on the leading edge, but not the bleeding edge."[:)]

So funny - I don't know what it is in LOGOS but every beta I can have 95% of my apps work, but LOGOS won't. I wonder what it is about Logos.

FL Mac developers will probably post something in the Desktop Beta forum when this becomes viable. They are probably just getting it installed now.

We do not suport beta versions of Operating Systems. Logos will support macOS 10.15.0 when it ships to customers in the Fall as a stable version.

I am running the beta of Catalina as well as ios13. As a work around you can use the web app of logos which is what I am currently doing. A side note proclaim will not work either and some functional of logos on ios13 is not working. However here is something that is really cool. Because the iPadOs now loads webpages as desktop pages and looks like a desktop you can now go to the web app using your iPad and actually edit your sermon on your iPad using the sermon editor. What would be even cooler is if logos uses this opportunity of the new iPadOs to allow users to use the app to actually build their sermons.

Still not working in Beta 2

Logos 8.6 Beta 3 saved the day. It works great with OS X Catalina.

Works for me as well.

For the record, I'm running Mac OS 10.15 Beta (19A501i) and Logos 8.6.0.0046.

I've installed Catalina on my internal drive, using a secondary volume (created in Disc Utility). I also created a symbolic link to my Logos library under Mac OS 10.14, so no downloading was necessary.

What about the beta 2 just released today of MacOS?

Yikes!! Too late!

I will try to use the web version.

To be honest, a lot was paid for this program... This should NOT be the norm!

Still praising God as I go!

With all due respect... Beta software is for testing purposes. It is expected that things will not go right... which is why people test. I understand the desire to have the latest & greatest... but that is not the purpose of beta testing. Faithlife does not support its software on beta operating systems, nor should it be expected to do so. Faithlife SHOULD be expected to ensure that its software will run on the new OS upon its release OR provide warnings to hold off.

For those brave to experiment with Beta... Also note: Just because a particular piece of software works with one beta build does NOT mean that it will work with a later beta build. Apple can (and does) add things to the betas as they go along. These changes can cause software to become incompatible. I am not speaking theoretically, I am speaking from personal experience.

Thanks for your response. I'm sure they (you or whomever) are/is already working towards Logos working with this upgrade. I'm sure it will work as well as it always has. Since "BETA" versions are for testing, I'll continue to keep watch when it starts working. Otherwise, there may need to be a warning upon purchase at these conferences and such, concerning these kinds of things happening. I'm sure that it would be a deterrent for sales.

Yes, I am also aware of what being a "BETA" tester is about, and I've been through similar issues with programs over the years... but the OTHER programs that have high price points and have high usage, would PROBABLY have a patch by now. - THIS I am speaking from experience on my end.

Again, thanks for the response.

Too funny!!!

Logos should be ready to go when macOS 10.15 is released. For clarification: I do not work for FL.

there may need to be a warning upon purchase at these conferences and such, concerning these kinds of things happening.

Logos works with the release version of macOS. No need for any warnings. [;)]

the OTHER programs that have high price points and have high usage, would PROBABLY have a patch by now

Technically Logos is free. [:P]

As for the other part, what do you mean by "high usage"? If you mean "billions of people use the software" then you are mistaken. Logos may have high market share in its category, but it is still niche software. It is a family owned business.

Lastly, if you think you know better, FL is always hiring talented new developers. [:)]

Anthony Dowden

Cannot say that I’ve seen any “patches” from anybody (not even Microsoft) to allow their programmes to run smoothly on ever-changing Beta versions of OPERATING SYSTEMS. Even a large company would not be able to keep up with all the changes.

Also, if you read through this forum you will see post after post advising you not to try to run Logos on beta versions of operating systems.

Play around as much as you want and have fun with the software. But if you won’t follow the rules then don’t belly-ache about it, please!

Mine now works! I used this link: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/182564.aspx

Thanks for your assistance!

JT (alabama24)

Mine now works!

Great! [:)]

Remember, however, that future beta updates to macOS may break Logos again. I have had this happen in previous beta testing.

Robert Earl Houston

Grrr . . . I wish I had seen this before I started Beta Testing . . .

Just understand that Mac beta operating systems can wreck anything, and stay clear of them!

Tommy Bell

how did you get the beta? I am still having the problem and would love to try something to get my logos back working

Joe Heng

You can try this. I was directed to this link.

This latest stable release was announced at https://community.logos.com/forums/t/182564.aspx - you could try the download links there.

I upgraded to OS 10.15 at it's release time but now Logos won't open????

The most likely reason is that you had an old version and not the newest release. Manually download the new engine and install. If that doesn't work, please create a new thread and post logs (see my signature line).
