Community Edition on Tahoe

[Heriberto Torrado]

Hi everyone,

I’ve managed to get LiveCode Community 9.6.3 working on macOS Tahoe 
using the appropriate patch released by the OpenXTalk team. Obviously, 
this is only useful for in-house software development, since if you 
distribute compiled applications, you’ll need to apply the patch to the 
operating system. macOS Tahoe still uses Rosetta 2, which they say will 
be deprecated in macOS 27, so LiveCode should continue to work at least 
on macOS with updates until 2029, after which the LiveCode Community 
edition on macOS will be over. I’m currently also trying to get it 
working on Linux operating systems with pure Wayland (like the new 
versions of **Fedora/Red Hat/**etc.), but I haven’t been successful yet. 
I recommend not using this in production and using the current paid 
version of LiveCode if you need a serious app.

Best,
Hery
