PixInsight and Mac OSX Sierra - not currently compatible -

[Oddsocks]

For any of you eager updaters out there note that the new Mac OSX v10.12 "Sierra" began rolling out to UK Apple users yesterday via the update feature in "App Store".

Changes to core security features inside the Sierra OSX prevent PixInsight from running.

This will need a massive rewrite of the PixInsight core application and they working on it but Juan Conejero has written on the PixInsight Resources website that this will take some time and that for PixInsight users the recommendation is to stay with no later than OSX 10.11.6 "El Capitan".

Thank you for the timely warning as I was downloading the update.

I've upgraded to Sierra and have PI working on my Mac. I'm on version 1.08.03.1123 Ripley x64.  I haven't updated to the last latest version 1.8.4.1195 so may be just lucky.  

Couldn't find the article that you mentioned.  Do you have a link?

Cheers John

It looks like if you already have PI installed, it continues working after the Sierra update.  If you try to install after the upgrade, you run into issues

Thank you for the heads up!

Just downloaded the latest version (1.8.4.1199 ) and it installed OK.  You have to put the downloaded directory in the applications folder and name it PixInsight.
