How long until Scrivener is updated for macOS 26?

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Now that the macOS 26 gold master is out, when will the Scrivener app be updated to fix the current compile errors?

We typically release a Scrivener update at about the same time as the Mac OS production release.

Personally, I very rarely update Mac OS before at least the x.1 release. Apple’s initial release quality has been … uneven over the last few years.

This update in particular, you might want to hold back a bit on, at least until you see a .1 or .2 release. I’ve been following the beta builds of it over the summer and it still has a lot of cold spots in the middle of the roast.

I’m running the RC as a VM, will hold off on the full install until the Scrivener update.

Definitely if compiling Scrivener projects is important for you, do not upgrade to Tahoe yet as the compile dialog is not working correctly at the moment…

The official Scrivener for macOS 3.5 update, with Tahoe support, is probably going to be a couple more weeks - Apple took me a little by surprise in announcing that Tahoe was going to be released so soon. True, last year’s update was around the same time, but for the previous few years, the macOS update had been late September or October, and with the number of bugs outstanding in Tahoe, I really thought they’d leave it a bit longer so they could fix more of them. (I’ve filed 59 macOS/iOS 26 bug reports with Apple since June, all UI bugs of varying severity - the most I’ve ever reported for an OS update - and only one has been confirmed as fixed in the release candidate.)

However, I plan to upload an interim 3.45 build that will be made available on the forums on Monday (UK time) which fixes the issue with the blank Compile pane on Tahoe (and a number of other bugs). That way users can at least get on with their work in Scrivener on Tahoe while we finalise the release.

All the best,
Keith

That’s great about the interim build, Keith. Will we need to download it from the forums or can we use the software update mechanism in the app itself to get the update?

You’ll need to download it from the forums, as it won’t be an official build.
