UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I have a 2013 iMac 27 machine which I've installed the latest APP on. Apple no longer support this computer and the last runnable version of OSX is High Sierra.Â
When I try to run APP nothing happens ... there is no error message. Is there a minimum version of OSX it will run on ?

Hi Peter @lx200gps,
Please see the comments about this on our downloads page: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/downloads/
- note 1:Â Starting with 2.0.0-beta9, the macOS installers are fully signed and notarized by Apple, so they should install without issues on the latest macOS versions. Please make sure that you allow software from App Store and identified developers in your privacy and security settings to be able to install without any issues.
- note 2: Versions before 2.0.0 will not run on macOS Ventura and later.
- note 3: Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta14 or later requires macOS Big Sur 11.0 or later.
- note 4: 2.0.0-beta13 was the last version that works on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or later.
So you can try the older 2.0.0-beta13 for High Sierra. In the past couple of years, Apple has changed a lot for security and privacy on the mac computers and these changes cause compatibility issues for old software on new mac computers and vice versa unfortunately.
For us, to be able to have APP work on the latest Mac OS versions, we need to develop according to Apple's latest standards and that makes our newest releases incompatible with older macOS versions.
Hope this helps and clairifies it?

Many thanks  Mabula 🙂
I've just heard about OpenCore Legacy Patcher which claims to allow running the latest OSX on older hardware which I'll give try first.Â

Hello Mabula,
FYI: I've successfully installed Sonoma on my 2013 iMac using open core legacy: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/BUILD.html
I've downloaded and registered AstroPixelProcessor-2.0.0-beta32-macOS-Intel-64-bit.dmg successfully.
Happy Days 🙂
