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!
@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?
K000137043: After upgrading to MacOS 14 Sonoma, VPN connections using Proxy configurations in the Network Access may fail
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.
Same there; cannot use F5 Access after upgrade to Sonoma 14.4
I opened a ticket with F5 Network and chatted with them via email
They are working on it and should release a new version around March, 19
We should wait 
I wish i was able to downgrade my MacOs version. Need to wait now. Thanks for the informations Letakeda
It’s possible, I tried, but with no success. Going fwd, please think on backup using Time Machine. This is what I’m doing now. 
Hello Letakeda, do you have any news? Thank you

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.

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
No yet. They closed the ticket and promised a fix on March, 19. I will try to reopen the ticket.
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.
Thanks for the update. What was the reason given for clowing the ticket?
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.
Good question. They shouldn’t have closed the case but… I reopened it already…
I’ll loop back over to Support to see where they are / if there are some solid updates.
@letakeda - can you share the ticket number with me? either the one that was closed or any new ones you may have opened? That may help me figure out where we stand.
Thanks,
