(updated August 2018)
I’ve created an up-to-date version of SkyDemon to run on macOS.
This is something I’ve done for my own benefit and happy to share, but isn’t supported by SkyDemon.

There are different versions depending upon the version of MacOSthat you are running:

 

For macOS versions prior to High Sierra:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ml28l9a9iv0dzt/SkyDemon%20for%20Mac%203.7.1.zip?dl=0

 

For High Sierra:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nr3rv8dxp9vdfx8/SkyDemon%20for%20Mac%203.10.0.0.zip?dl=0


Download this, uncompress it, then copy it to your Applications folder.

If you've already got an earlier version installed, first dragit from Applications folder to the Trash - you shouldn't lose anysettings when doing this, as these are stored separately in your Documentsfolder.

 

Important: The first time you run it, youwill need to locate it in the Applications folder from Finderand press the Control key, then click the app icon, then choose Open from theshortcut menu (this is because it is 'untrusted' - see: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18657?locale=en_US Wink. You may also have to click “Allow” to a pop-up about accepting inboundconnections.

 

When you first run SkyDemon it will check to see if a morerecent version is available, and if so will prompt you to download and installit.

 

Please use this thread for any specific feedback / issues withthis build (good or bad) - keep complaints about lack of native versionelsewhere. I can’t promise to fix everything - and indeed one day this mightall suddenly stop working when some unwanted update comes along. At the risk ofsounding like a lawyer, use entirely at your own risk.

 

Known issues:

As with the previous versions for Mac, there is now oneknown unresolved issue:

 - you must have a printer installed and configured beforeusing Print Centre, otherwise Print Centre won't work;

 

How does it work?: 

This uses a technology for wrapping Windows apps to run on macOScalled Wineskin, and should run on macOS 10.6 and above. It wraps SkyDemon forWindows.

Known issues:
As with the previous versions for Mac, there are three known unresolved issues:
 - you must have a printer installed and configured before using Print Centre, otherwise Print Centre won't work;
 - the weather icons in the weather panel are not displayed;
 
How does it work?:
This uses a technology for wrapping Windows apps to run on OS X called Wineskin (currently v2.6.1, using engine WS9Wine1.7.52), and should run on Mac OS X 10.6 and above including El Capitan. It wraps SkyDemon (currently v3.6.0.12) for Windows.

 

Hi,

tried to download the latest files for SD, now when SD opens it disappears of the screen on my mac, not sure if I'm just being stupid but I just can't get it to reappear. Any suggestion will be welcome.

Regards,

Alan

Hi Alan,

at the risk of starting with a standard helpdesk answer - I'd start with a reboot if you haven't already done so - sometimes the Wine wrapper that runs SkyDemon gets in a muddle and a reboot sorts it.
failing that - do you get the Skydemon menu in the menu bar?  If so, try going to the 'Window' menu and select 'Bring all to front' or 'SkyDemon Plan' - and see if either of those bring the menu to the foreground.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure you get weary of all these issues.

I tried all of the above, finally I uninstalled everything inc Wine Wrapper and also tried the solution with opening a Terminal window. After all that it worked fine.

What is the latest version for MAC OS? I seem to be on 3.6.3.0?

Thanks again for your help, its much appreciated.

Alan

3.6.3.0 is the latest stable version for Mac (and should automatically install updates as they become available)

There is a Mac Beta here (same as the PC beta): https://www.dropbox.com/s/on28av1zv220xq2/SkyDemon%20for%20Mac%20BETA%203.6.3.16.zip?dl=0 
(updating this is a manual process, so I can't guarantee that this will always reflect the latest Beta)
