It appears the newest version is available. I'm unable to update possibly due to running the public beta of MacOS Sonoma, but thought others might be interested. Memento 2.0 seems to have some exciting new features.

Kind Regards, Dan

So, the desktop edition is at release 1.something, and the mobile edition on Android is at 5.something, and though the mobile edition is at 5.something, the mobile edition on iOS is at 2.0?

I wish the developer would educate us on how the production releases of each edition, the beta releases of each edition, and how the separate OS platforms work related to the editions. It's all confusing, at least to me. I thought mobile was mobile at the edition release level, though I know the underpinning app infrastructure is different for the iOS app. Should we track bugs and features separately for each platform?

Being somewhat new to Memento, I thought possibly the version numbers were behind for MacOS and iOS because Memento had been available longer for Android. What is confusing about this update from 1.6.2 to 2.0 for MacOS is that 2.0 is dated July 2022 🤪.

I’ve notified the developer and will report anything I hear.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for letting me know about this issue. We'll try to fix the installation package to support the latest Mac version. In the meantime, you can use the Java version of the installer.
The instructions for using the Memento Database Java version on Mac:
1. Install Java 8 (JRE FX package) from Azul Systems. You can download it from this link: 
https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-8-lts&os=macos&package=jre-fx#zulu
2. Download Memento Database Java version from the following link: 
https://mementodatabase.com/download/mementodb-2.0.0-jar.zip
3. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a location of your choice.
4. Open Terminal on your Mac.
5. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the Memento Database files.
6. Make the `mementodb.sh` file executable by running the following command: 
chmod +x mementodb.sh
7. Now, you can run Memento Database by executing the `mementodb.sh` script:
./mementodb.sh

Vasilly,

Do you have any updated information on your attempt to "fix the installation package to support the latest Mac version"? I am running MacOS Ventura 13.5.2, which is the latest, and just downloaded the Memento 2.0.0 installation package for MacOS again and tried to run it, but it still does not work, saying "this application is not supported on this Mac." It has been a month since I first reported the issue to Memento. I am starting to get worried that Memento might no longer be supported on my Mac. I am hoping to see an update beyond version 2.0.0 that will work. Any info on your progress or lack thereof will be helpful. Thanks!
