Sonos App not working in MacOS Golden Gate Beta

Since installing the MacOS Golden Gate Beta, the Sonos app will not find the system.

Firewall is off, so the only help in the Sonos app about that is of no effect.

I know the app is vintage anyway, but has anyone worked out how to get out working?

I know everyone will say use the web app, but it’s crap. I want the app and its native experience with notifications etc.

    That certainly points to an issue with Apple’s Beta, and not Sonos’ or Phonos’ use/access of the data. Have you contacted Apple?

    I have, and I’m not the only one. See https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/814226?login=true

      Reading that linked topic I have a desire to find the Apple poster and smack some of the attitude out of them. It did reinforce my old decision to avoid Apple as a user or developer though.

      Why is this thread regarding a OS beta still getting comments? It’s clearly stated in the link that beta OS’s are not supported by Sonos. That’s clear as glass to me. Please don’t be a smart “_” and start referencing opaque and/or tinted glasses or various glass like materials.

        There seems to be a tendency to assume that the larger company is faultless.

        i can understand why developers would not want to waste time keeping up with Apple betas. I was working with another App ( not associated with SONOS ). The author was keeping abreast with the Apple beta code in his own betas and everything was set for release. Unfortunately, Apple made an unannounced change a couple days before release. These changes broke some 3rd party Apps. Naturally, Apple’s own Apps had been updated.. This resulted in the 3rd parties getting bad press claiming that the 3rd parties were inept.

          Because if Apple don’t get told by enough users/developers that this feature is broken, they wont fix it before 27 releases. And then you’ll complain.

          This isn’t a “developer needs to fix their app” issue, this is “Apple need to fix their OS”.

            What are you talking about “And then you’ll (I’ll) complain?”  I know it’s an Apple problem and never alluded that it was a Sonos and/or developer issue.

            The S1 app works.  I’ve tried everything with Unifi in the mix also to get it working, but to no avail.  Hopefully a future Apple release will fix it.

            If you have a Unifi system, and aren’t using the Apple Beta OS, you should refer to  https://github.com/IngmarStein/unifi-sonos-doc
