Description of Issue

• Sonic Transporter successfully updated, I believe - although there is a notification in the Roon app stating “Update Required”???
• Roon 2.0 playing fine when controlled by my iPhone, with updated app
  BUT…
  I cannot control Roon now with my MacBook Pro - which I far prefer to using my phone. When I tried to upload the latest Roon app to my MBP is appeared that it is not compatible with Mojave 10.14.6 You need 10.15?
  This massively sucks, as it means that my MBP is now redundant as far as Roon is concerned.

Please tell me this isn’t true and there’s a simple solution. I need to use my Mac to control my music collection, not my phone.

2.0 needs 10.15 as a minimum.

So, to be clear, since I updated to Roon 2.0 I can no longer use my MacBook to control / play Roon, without updating the Operating System in my Mac?

Yes, I’m afraid that is the case.

Or go back to Roon 1.8, per the instructions.

Hi @Jeremy_Jones,

Yes, 10.15 or higher is required for Roon 2.0. You have the ability to revert your Roon setup to 1.8 legacy though. The instructions for how to do this are found here.

Please let me know if you need any assistance with doing so.

Wes
