(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.

Hi rikur

Firstly, well done on creating a much needed mac version, i hope at some point in the future SD creates a supported version.

I wonder if you can help me?  I used to run your version prior to upgrading to High Sierra, but since the upgrade after hours of fiddling, I've not managed to successfully run it.  Any assistance would be gratefully received.

The problem being, on running the app and agreeing to the initial SkyDemon Licence Plan pop up, it then displays a 'New Route' popup, but no SkyDemon map?




I have macOS HS 10.13.6
I have downloaded the zip file for HS v3.10.0.0.zip
In Wineskin I have the following selected



Many thanks, and keep up the good work!!

Apologies - I missed this post previously.
Have you used your Mac with an external screen at some stage?  Wineskin doesn't seem to be great at recovering windows back to the current screen if they were last shown on an external screen.   Easiest option seems to be reconnect external screen and move windows back to built in screen. Sometimes just letting Skydemon sit there for a few minutes until the prompt for 'update charts' and then 'update to the latest version'  (pressing Y on each to proceed) seems to force the window back to the right screen.  Sorry I don't have a more definitive solution.

Hi rikur

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do have an additional screen.

A little while ago I switched the screen positions around (ie made the left screen my right screen) on my desk and changed it in the system preferences. Through the preferences, I switched them back to the original positions, launched SD and hey presto, there she is in all her glory.

Resized SD, dragged onto iMac screen, re-switched screen positions to how they are setup on my desk, closed and re-alunched, and everything works beautifully.

You are a genius..! Thank you.
