MacOS Sonoma (beta 2) appears to have problems with Lightroom Classic

[Richard_Marcellus]

I am getting very frequent crashes using Lightroom Classic 12.4 in the new MacOS Sonoma beta2.

Simply switching to a new collection will give me a full crash (app disappears) almost everytime.

I haven't noticed any problems with Lightroom (cloud) yet.

Have the iCloud Drive issues been resolved as well where some folders stored locally will unload themselves along with many folders previewing at 0kb.

Thank you. Will give this a try.

Also Photoshop 2023, and Photoshop Beta are both pretty much unusable on Sonoma. The app become unresponsive after a few (less than 10) seconds of use. This is NOT an issue I expect Adobe SUPPORT to get involved with. But it would be nice for Adobe DEVELOPERS to achnowledge that they can reproduce it in their unit tests, and if not, they are free to get in touch with us friendly(!) customers who are willing to assist them via screen share, etc.

The beta 3 of Sonoma seems to work perfectly. Both LRc and Photoshop are operating smoothly and with any issue yet.

As the response already provided by Rikk Flohr (Adobe Employee) in the 'Pinned Reply' at the top of this thread indicates - 'we do not support Adobe's current shipping products on unreleased OS's.' 

If you need to use Sonoma, then best you set up a dual boot system to run it along with Ventura.

Without anything to contribute to a solution, only in the event that it is helpful as an additional data point, I am also experiencing the issue on a 2023 M2 Mac Studio 64 GB RAM Sonoma 14.0 2TB internal drive.

I updated to Sonoma 14.0 today (non-beta), Apple M1 Pro. Now none of my adobe apps work, photoshop and illustrator being the two main.

Note that Lightroom Classic 13 was released today, and Adobe says that version is compatible with macOS 14 Sonoma.
