A Sobering Indication of What's to Come?
« on: September 16, 2020, 02:14:37 PM »
Quote from: The Developers of Cocktail
We would like to inform you that Cocktail (Big Sur Edition) will be delayed and will not be released before or on a same day the final version of macOS Big Sur will be available for download.

We are waiting for the Golden Master version of macOS Big Sur to be released before we will start to develop Cocktail (Big Sur Edition). This is simply because Apple is making so many changes to this operating system in every beta...
May be time to try Catalina macOS 10.15? :dntknw:

My husband, who has been teaching himself how to program games/apps signed up to be an Apple developer the other day and when he went to install Xcode (the newest version) it wanted Big Sur. So he went and installed the beta. On his main (only) MBP. Not on a partition, not on an external drive...

And then he piped up with "OnePassword isn't working"...

YA THINK????

 :doh: :doh: :doh:

He does have a backup - I'm not sure what his plans are. Nor what all else isn't working... But hey, if you've got any Big Sur questions, I know who to ask!  :blink:

I hope he has lots of RAM! Xcode instals and uses gobs of stuff. Hopefully he also has an external monitor. That will make things so much easier to see. :yes:

Older versions of Xcode (11.6) should still be available, BTW. Scroll down in this list: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=xcode

Well, I'm still using Mojave, and intend to stick with that until it's no longer viable! Last year, I bought “new” hotrodded MPB, maxed out, because I didn’t want to mess with bad keyboards, problematic touch strips or what I believe to be a HUGE step backwards in technology, all that crap you have to have hanging off the side of the new laptop (we used to call them “dongles”!) to connect to removable hard drives, headphones, external speakers or disk drives.  And I have to admit to doing this mainly because I don’t want to be held ransome to Adobe Lightroom's subscription model, and their history of completely ignoring the desires of their users!  :doh:  :wallbash:  :mad:

I'm still running High Sierra :lol: and will be for quite some time. I'm happy and everything works.
