you don't need to upgrade to macOS 10.13 to try new Xcode or iOS 11. Fixes for other Unity versions will follow shortly. Update2: we have updated our Mac VR build with APFS fix. We are working on a fix, though meanwhile we recommend to not upgrade your main filesystem to APFS or at least keep Unity editor and your projects on HFS+ partition. Update: we were able to track down missing Project View items issue as APFS and Unity editor interoperability problem. Check back here soon – we'll keep updating this post as we learn more. We recommend waiting before updating to this macOS version until we finish investigating reported issues, one of which being trouble with assets appearing in Project View. We are aware of some issues with Unity and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) beta 1 release. Should be fixed by now on our backend servers. Workaround: disable networking while opening project. Global cross platform Unity Editor outage while opening project. macOS Sierra (10.12) - based on the desktop photo - presumably is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range in keeping with Apple's recent theme of naming its Mac operating systems after attractive locations in.
Other known problems, but not related to OS upgrade: macOS Sierra is the twelfth version of Mac OS X/OS X, so it is reasonable to refer to it as Mac OS X 10.12 or OS X 12, as well. Xcode 9 works fine with macOS 10.12.6, so if you are in late development stages of your game, it's still recommended to stay on macOS 10.12. In general 5.4.x and older Unity versions might work with High Sierra on HFS+ disk, but it should be considered as last resort workaround if you have to use older Unity versions on new OS. There will be no Unity 5.4.x fixes for High Sierra, you have to either keep your machines on macOS 10.12 or upgrade your project to Unity 5.5.x and later. Patches for Unity Editor can be downloaded at usual place:
Future Unity versions are expected to switch to it anyway.
If you encounter more issues with Monodevelop on macOS 10.13 it's recommended to manually install Visual Studio for Mac and use it for script editing. These versions include multiple fixes for disappearing assets on APFS, Unity Editor and Monodevelop crashes.
5.5.5 patch 2 or later (install Visual Studio for Mac for script editing) MacOS 10.13 High Sierra upgrade recommendation: upgrade with careįor macOS 10.13 support you have to upgrade your Unity Editor to one of these versions:

When the general release is out, your Mac should tell you there is an update available. Once everything is backed up, you are ready to proceed. A potential alternative is a dedicated backup service that will save your data remotely. Backups can also be housed on an external hard drive. If you have Time Machine set up (Opens in a new window), it will make hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for all previous months. Here are the devices that will get the new operating system:īefore you upgrade your OS, it's always a good idea to back up your files first. Many current Macs will support Big Sur, though not all. While a new ARM-based fleet of Mac computers is coming, that doesn't mean you have to go out and get a whole new computer right away. If you want to jump in early, you can always sign up for the public beta the next time around just know that they can be unstable and mess with your existing apps. The Big Sur public beta launched in August, which hopefully gave Apple enough time to work out all the kinks before today's official release.
