Hello,
Has SketchUp 2024 already been tested with macOS 15 (Sequoia)?
If so, is it fully compatible?
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,
Hervé
Sequoia’s release date is today. There has not been a release of SketchUp so I would expect the answer to be the currently available version of SketchUp does not support OS 15. It might work. You could try it and see what happens. Roll back to a supported version of the OS if it gives you any trouble.

The official answer can be seen here:
SketchUp Hardware and Software Requirements
In general, yes. I’ve only found a few UI nits that you can easily work around.

but just like every year, do not upgrade straight with the version 15.0 - wait for a month or two so the bugs are ironed out, if you don’t know how to rollback to sonoma, maybe also wait for a month or two so other users can find the bugs with SU, and if there is nothing in the update that is truly vital for your job and/or daily life, also wait.
in short, it’s ok to wait a bit. it’s not like apple is reinventing the wheel every year…

It doesn’t mention Sequoia at all. What is up with that? Trimbles OS roadmap seems non-existent. The 2023 version crashed all over the place on Sonoma months after the OS release. It would make a ton of sense to start testing the software on the developer preview so that the latest production version could be confidently supported on the lates OS release.
…for the public. 
Right. You don’t want to spill the tea to your customers. Leave us hanging until we cave in and find out.
Sequoia was only released yesterday.

Are you kidding? The developer Beta has been out over a month.
I’m not a Trimble employee. I’m a user like you, just maybe I’ve been dealing with Sketchup more and/or for a longer time.

The official release date of Sequoia was yesterday.
The beta was out for a few weeks but betas are never final. Trying to update an application to run on a the moving target of beta version of an operating system is a waste of time. Also it takes time to do alpha and beta testing of applications once the operating system is set.
I wonder why you don’t know what version of SketchUp you are using or that MacOS is not a graphics card.

It’s how many software companies work, and it’s partly why the betas exist. It’s exactly how other software is ready with an update when the OS is released.

And AFAIK and IIRC I’ve never seen SketchUp try to meet either major operating system’s release dates.
Remember (especially if your tools are currently stable and working) - you don’t need to upgrade. Unless you have compelling reasons (security, other software that is must have based on new OS, etc - you can just keep working with tools that work…
(I’m on Ventura because my first Sonoma upgrade was a disaster (more than SketchUp) and I had to roll back…

That is not actually true for everyone, as forced/controlled updates (security reasons usually) from the company are non negotiable. But I feel like we digress from the fact that it would be nice if SketchUp developed for the upcoming OS to get ahead even by a little bit. The track record usually feels like catching up, unfortunately.
Agreed. But! Apple tends to do a great job pushing security fixes to OSs even a couple generations old.
And, sometimes you have to tell the bean counters and principals that you need tools that work, and to call off the IT brigade.

We’ve been testing it and have some minor UI nits that’ll get cleaned up. We did have a crash around Beta 5 or so, but it was fixed in the next release.
Most people helping you here are non-SketchUp employees. I suck at using the product compared to them, but I have development releases of both SketchUp and macOS so we can look at what’s happening in early releases. If you do find one of the nits I’ve noticed, ping me.
None of the issues we’ve seen thus far warrant a new release, as demonstrated by the lack of issues posted on the forums. That can always change, but in general we have a pretty good relationship with Apple.

Thanks. I’m upgrading. Geronimo!

I am using SU22 and/or SU23 and they both crash on the new macOS Sequoia. 
I leave the app running and after a few minutes it crashes without any user input. This is very disappointing and makes SketchUp unusable.
well, considering they were crashing under Sonoma due to big security changes, it’s not a surprise that they crash under Sequoia. Apple didn’t revert their changes, quite the contrary.
well you’re in luck, they came up with a more stable update named sketchup 24. 
edit : there is a common misconception that new versions of a software are just here to bring new tools. they’re also here to bring compatibility with new OSs (Osses?) and update the onboard techs.
