macOS 13 is still in preview beta release at this time; this document is a work in progress
Support Changes
Login Items UI controls
The new Login Items UI feature in Ventura Beta 1 is a significant blocker for deployment; we have opened tickets with Apple about this issue.
Application Management limitations
The new changes to application management - which prevents Munki from installing updates - is a significant blocker for deployment; we have opened tickets with Apple about this issue.
Applications
The following list of applications either have issues launching on macOS 13.0 (Ventura), or may not run on neither macOS 10.11 (Big Sur) nor macOS 12 (Monterey). Please note that older versions of applications were not tested here – only the most current versions available in Managed Software Center were checked for the ability to launch successfully.
This list is a work in progress (last updated 9-21-2022 as applications are being validated against new beta releases). This list will be updated as newer versions of these applications come out.
IF THESE APPLICATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU: Please reach out to the vendors and ask what their timeline for Ventura support is.
Applications that currently do not install successfully on Ventura (macOS 13):
Camtasia – ACE audio driver can’t be installed on 13. May not be fixed until after Ventura is released.
Parallels Desktop 17 – and 18 – do not license properly for ITAM installs (reported to vendor)
Applications that currently do not launch successfully or have issues on Ventura (macOS 13) (note that a handful of applications not listed may need two launches to appear correctly):
Ableton Live – previous versions will present as “Damaged” – if you see this, trash the app and reinstall via MSC as that has been fixed.
Examplify – previous versions will present as “Damaged” – if you see this, trash the app and reinstall via MSC as that has been fixed.
FinalCut and other audio apps may complain about the following audio drivers which “did not pass the Apple AU validation”: Nimbus, R4, Izotope (Nectar 3, Neutron 2 and 3) and Foundry M7 Link --- these cause GarageBand, FinalCut and Premiere Pro to hang on launch while scanning audio drivers…) OF NOTE: 12.4 FinalCut complains about Nimbus, R4 and M7 Link as well.
Lightwright 6 – crashes unexpectedly at quit and at launch sometimes (Apple says to be fixed in a future update - may be fixed in beta 8 – still testing)
Xcode 13 does not run on Ventura –Xcode 14 should be available to systems soon.
Applications that are not installing updates via Managed Software Center (not an authoritative list) – different apps fail with different betas (running list for beta 8) – it’s possible these updates may install if the apps are trashed before the updates are installed:
none right now!
