Boinc manager doesn't work anymore since my update to Mac OS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101)
On the website you can download Boinc manager, but is still a file from 2011, so I suppose they need an update for the newer Mac OS ?  |

Current BOINC manager rev for Mac is 8.0.2, downloadable here:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php Should work OK. |

I downloaded BOINC for Mac 8.0.2 and it still doesn't work with MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1. Every time you reboot the Mac you have to reinstall BOINC for Mac 8.0.2. This needs to be fixed before I will restart running Tasks for the project.

Everytime I restart my mac it does tell me that there is a permissions error and I need to reinstall BOINC. Just wanted to throw my me too into the mix. we probably need to take this to the BOINC message board though as WCG doesn't do this bit of the code.

Welcome back, Unixchick!
----------------------------------------See https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/5910 regarding this 'permissions error', "4 days ago": DrMichaelTodd on Feb 14, 2025 · edited by DrMichaelTodd Well... having had the same problem and previously found this, and followed the described steps with running the "Uninstall BOINC" utility and reinstalling, with the last MacOS update and restart, and getting the exact same problem again... I'm going to say it's not solved. https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Installing-on-MacOS If you upgrade to a new version of Mac OS, BOINC will fail, showing error messages about permissions. This is due to a bug in Apple's OS update mechanism, which has been reported to Apple. You can fix the problem by running the BOINC installer again.
