Minimwatch is greyed out on Mac Sequoia

[Steveh100]

Since running the consumer beta of Sequoia on my MBP Minimwatch is greyed out and I can't use it. Any clues?

If MinimServer is installed and running on the same Mac MinimWatch runs fine. I assume it's therefore somehow due to MinimWatch's access to the Network as MinimServer normally runs on two QNAP NASs

If both MinimServer and MinimWatch are installed and runnng on the same Mac, you should see a minim icon from MinimServer but no minim icon from MinimWatch. This is intentional to prevent duplicate icons being shown.

I am installing the Sequoia beta at the moment (2 hours and 54 minutes remaining). I will try this when the installation has finished and post back here.

I am seeing the same problem. There are new restrictions in Sequoia related to whether a macOS app is allowed to access the local network. I am working on a change to MinimWatch and MinimServer that should hopefully enable them to work on Sequoia.

Many thanks, I had assumed this was the case but couldn't find a way to add MinimWatch or Java to the list able to access the local network.

As I understand it from some reading yesterday, an entitlement needs to be added to the application to trigger a prompt that allows the user to approve access to the local network. I am working on making this change to MinimServer and MinimWatch..

Any news?

I have spent many hours and days trying to get this working. I have followed all instructions on the Apple website for how to enable local network and multicast permission. Some attempts have come close but none has worked correctly. I am currently rewriting the macOS launcher for MinimServer and MinimWatch in the hope that this might provide a solution.

Many thanks, much appreciated as I'm sure while it will be necessary for when Sequoia is released you have other priorities at the moment
