Hi,

I’ve started to get reminders when starting GoldenCheetah that it won't start in the next version of OSX. Are there any plans to support macOS 27?

Cheers,

Kari

For the moment there is no plan, we have an open issue for this (https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/issues/4682) and the limitation to build using Python 3.7 was removed but I don't know if anyone is actively working on this, the main issue seems to be code signing necessary to be able to run the generated binaries standalone. Contributions are welcome.

Currently it is possible to generate Apple Silicon binaries building from source as explained in https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/master/INSTALL-MAC

Cheers, Ale.

Update: Nathan has made good progress on the issue above based on Magnus previous work modernizing macOS builds, there is a proof of concept ARM64 binary available there if anyone wants to collaborate with testing and provide feedback.

Great! I managed to compile my own version but the provided ARM64 binary from the GitHub is working fine. I’d much rather use those than compiling my own version. Hopefully this will included in the normal way of distributing binaries, as well as with development builds.
