I haven't had a ton of time to test, but yesterday's macOS 15.0.1 appears to have fixed it for me. I can open Perspective pages in designer without immediately getting an error now. **Update 10-7-24** Tried again today and it's no longer working. ---

Still having the same issue running macOS 15.0.1 ---

A fix will be available in 8.1.44, which should hopefully be released within the next few days, if not later today. Thanks for your patience. ---

Is the actual fix a part of the designer, and therefore if you have a new launcher able to look at older gateways that were affected? Or is the issue something that will stay version locked to the gateway? ---

JXBrowser is part of the _Designer_, which is versioned in step with the Ignition Gateway you launch against. It is not part of the _Designer Launcher_, which is a separate application from anything else. The Designer Launcher is truly just a launcher application. Whatever Gateway you point it at, it downloads the binaries from that Gateway, if necessary, and then launches a Designer of that version against that Gateway. ---

8.1.44-RC1 should have the fix for this. ---

Can confirm this works on 8.1.44-rc1 and Sequoia 15.0.1. Thank you! ---

Is there a chance this may get fixed by a future macOS Sequoia update? For instance 15.1? Has anybody tried with 15.1 since it got released as RC yesterday? ---

Ignition v8.1.44 stable was released today with the fix. ---

The release of 8.1.44 stable is great, but some of us don't have the option of upgrading their gateways ---

You have three options: - Upgrade your gateway, - Avoid upgrading your MacOS, or - use a VM. IA has no magic wand. Making Sequoia support older designers would have to come from Apple. ---

Same here! You can use a VM. Working fine in my case. ---
