I’ve just seen on my Mac (running Tahoe 26.4.1) that the version of Sonos app I have on my computer will not open in future release of MacOS. Running Sonos S2 version 17.2. (the message directs me to an apple website to learn how to update to Apple Silicon version).
I wondered if there will be a solution going forward or is this the end of the app for MacOS?
Have you tried the web version of the controller?
+24Look in the App Store.
Have you tried the web version of the controller?
Yes. The app is less intrusive. It means having a webpage open which I don’t necessarily want. The app was ideal as can minimise it and it not affect my work.
+24There is no App in the macOS App Store.
Sure there is, search for “phonos ultimate” in there. (Searching for Sonos doesn’t find it, because Apple).

Whilst that is a solution and appreciate that someone has spent the time to make and produce an app, it is still a paid app and this shouldn't be the case when spending a considerable amount of money on speakers...

As far as we know, Sonos has no intention of releasing an Apple Silicon version of the desktop controller. They intend to eventually retire the desktop controllers altogether. So, your options will become limited if you want to continue to control your system from the desktop. You should let Sonos know how you feel about that using official feedback channels. Posting here in the community will probably not get a response from Sonos.
As long as you aren't expecting someone to provide a free** app I agree with you.
** Free often includes some nasty data harvesting, scams and other unwanted stuff. Make sure it is really free and not selling your information for hidden profit.
