New behaviors in Sequoia (macOS 15)

  • Applications that want to “find devices on your local network” will pop up with an “Allow” or “Don’t Allow” dialog the first time any account logs into a computer. As of Beta 1, we do not have the ability to “Allow” these pop-ups silently.Building it is launched, per user. You may see this with Zoom, as Zoom is trying to find Zoom Room devices, but Zoom will work completely fine if you click Don’t Allow.

  • Applications may ask you to grant the ability to “access data from other apps.” MATLAB, SnagIt, Zoom and Zotero may show this alert when first launched.

    Image Added

  • Applications that need to use older “Screen & System Audio Recording” APIs, including Zoom and Camtasia, may trigger an alert asking you to grant the app the ability to record the screen and/or microphone This grant only lasts one month, and it cannot set it permanently.

    Image Added

  • Loading a computer from scratch will show a “Welcome To Mac” screen before you can log in . As of Beta 1, we can not hide that screen.

Applications (a work in progress – not all Applications have been tested yet)

As of Beta 1:

  • Adobe applications do not install from Managed Software Center on a new build. - Pending updates

    • Adobe Apps installed from the menu bar dingus do work.

  • Crowdstrike will not install on a new build. (Version 7.17 should allow this when available.)

  • Screen sharing specific application windows in Zoom may fail (you may get a “screen sharing is paused” message when trying to do this) Sharing the entire screen (or specific window selections) should workthe first time.
