I upgraded my MacOS to Sonoma (the latest version of MacOS) and now F5 Access does not open When I try to open the application, nothing happens. The icon in the up menu bar does not appear. Is anyone passing through the same situation? Thanks! Thanks!

Thank you for your patience. F5 Access 2.1.0 for MacOS is now available in the Apple app store. Please refer to the following resources for more information. F5 Access 2.1.0 release notes K000139761: Overview of F5 Access issues on MAC Sonoma

letakeda - I see you had a separate question about Mac and F5 Access a while ago.
A spammer got to that one and that action took it off the *un-answered* radar - I just wiped that spam but since this is a new issue.

Does this Support article relate to your configuration?

  LiefZimmerman,
  I have the same issue again, now, upgrading to Sonoma 14.4....
  I will not upgrade until I perform a backup first. This is the 2nd time :)
  Would you help?

    Did the new version of the client solved this the last time for you? In that case it is very possible you will have to wait again for a new version. If you have support contract I would contact F5 support about this.

The two most recent topics that we've published content on with similiar symptoms are:

K000138683: Users cannot connect to BIG-IP APM virtual servers with BIG-IP Edge Client 7246

Bug ID 1505789: VPN connection fails with Edge client 7.2.4.6 with error "Network is vulnerable"

However, that's only at an initial glance of the symptom a few of you have described. Take a peek at those two and see if there's any relationship to what you're experiencing. If not, we'd need to get a bit more information to troubleshoot, identify the cause, and provide recommended actions. We've got a few different 'choose your own adventure' options for you to get a hold of F5 Support to get a solution: K000135931: Contact F5 Support (Chat, Case, Phone) All 3 of which will most likely result in a case so that we can collect some data from you to get to the specifics of the issue.

If you need any assistance with anything above just let us know.

Hello, we have the same problem in the company after upgrading to Sonoma 14.4 - F5 Access does not open.
Are there any updates on the issue since no fix has been released so far and we are already past the last ETA

I'm going to update the title of this post Sonora > Sonoma to help others find it - especially so as we work towards a technical solution.

  Do you have an ETA for a solution for "F5 Access"? Someone further up this thread mentioned that you're already working on a solution and we should get it around March 19th, but your comment looks to me as if you have not yet started working on a solution?
  I am curious if this issue did not show up on Mac OS 14.4 Beta, or your Q/A does not test for upcoming OS releases?
  The other thing that is difficult to understand is, why there's still no Universal Image available, supporting both Intel (which is becoming irrelevant on Mac) and Apple Silicon? (One with a smaller icon in the menubar.

    I'll loop back over to Support to see where they are / if there are some solid updates.

Hey hi,
If F5 access is not opening and the icon doesn't appear in the menu bar, try reinstalling the application or checking for any compatibility updates from the developer website.

Apple has released a BugFix/Security release. Updating to MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 did not fix this issue.

Here's the release notes: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT214096
