(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.

More on this. I have tried this with version 3.8.2.0 & 3.7.1 & get similar results when following the above steps.

‌At first I thought it followed updating the charts, but that's not the case.

‌I have tried this on two different Macs, with the same results. The second had never had SkyDemon installed on it.

‌A pity, as it has rendered SkyDemon unusable for me.

Grasping at straws .... you could try using the X11 driver instead of the Mac one....
Find where you have the Skydemon package ... right click "Show package contents"
L‌aunch the Wineskin app in the root of the package
S‌elect "Set Screen Options" and untick "Use Mac Driver instead of X11"

Hi All, I've got the same unusual attitude as andydavy and have tried a variety of different configuration options for wineskin.app but making very little difference. SD appears to crash as soon as you start zooming an / out in the map. Sometimes it takes a couple of go's, but SD crashes pretty quickly and the app is not usable on the OSX platform.

H‌as anyone got a setup that works on OSX / macOS ?
I‌ amon a mac book pro (2015 model) running OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
D‌oes SD work better on Sierra or High Sierra?
D‌o we have another version of Wine that works?

S‌D on mac is not supported but by ourselves but this is the season where we need it most ;-)

H‌ope to hear some success stories soon
