Does Adobe Scout work under Mac OS Ventura?

freq

Has anyone tried to run Adobe Scout under Big Sur?
I'm hesitant to upgrade from Catalina because I'm afraid I'll lose that app...

Jeff

I just tested it under macOS Big Sur and connected to an iOS AIR/Starling app running the latest iOS version and it worked fine. Make sure you have the latest Scout mobile app installed from the app stores if there was an update.

Looks like the iOS App Store does not have Adobe Scout listed anymore.
I'm mainly using it to profile apps when I run them locally from IntelliJ so if the desktop app works then it's all good, thanks!

Jeff

I know you were just asking about macOS Big Sur but since they were released today, Adobe Scout seems to also continue to work with macOS Monterey and the latest iOS 15.1 as well.

Time for an update - does Scout run under Ventura?

I installed Scout on a previous version of macOS. I just tried launching it on Ventura, and I got the following error message from macOS:

“Adobe Scout CC.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I'm on an Intel Ventura machine (not sure if you are on Silicon Josh?) and it does launch:
Adobe Scout v 1.1.3.354121
(haven't tried profiling with it though)

Isn't a bigger issue that the Adobe Scout app isn't on the iOS app store anymore (if you were wanting to profile an iOS device).

Jeff Adobe Scout app isn't on the iOS app store anymore

You can't find it with search, but if you search for Photoshop for example, and open all Adobe apps, you will find Scout there too (at least I can on my iPhone).

Yeah, I'm on Apple Silicon, but I'm pretty sure it was working in a previous version of macOS.

Actually, I just tried the right-click -> Open trick, on a whim. It gave me an option to open anyway in spite of being "damaged". So I tried it, and it launched successfully. When I ran an AIR app, the ActionScript Sampler was successfully collecting data too.

joshtynjala Awesome! I just updated to Ventura to get latest XCode and SDKs access and was just about to delete Scout but yes, I can confirm that on Apple Silicon (M2) the right click -> open does start up Scout! Cheers!

htmiel Thanks for the advice, this works for me. But when I try to connect my Scout app to my mac, the error popup appears "Unable to connect. Try again." Did you face the same thing?

elegantdeer Sorry, can't say, I only work on Windows, never tried it on Mac
