I recently upgraded to Monterey/Apple silicon. Normally I have 3 profiles on a system: Admin (updates, installs), backup Admin, and Standard User (normal day-to-day). I have installed Apple Silicon 2.1.54 Qt6. I always open a program in admin mode to be sure it works (it opens fine). However, when I am in standard user mode, the program does not launch; I get the following error:
You can’t open the application “Anki.app” because this application is not supported on the Mac.
Anki worked fine on my previous (Intel) system (with the same profile setup).
I would like to stay with Anki but, obviously, if it won’t open, I will have to try another program.
Anki has been installed in /Applications. I have used AppCleaner & EasyFind to clean out previous attempted installs.
I don’t know – I don’t generally put beta products on a production machine. I would be doubly cautious if a subsequent update undid the previous improvement. I really don’t have time to continually install/uninstall a program (I have already done it several times since 2.1.49). Perhaps I should just wait until the next release. If the problem still hasn’t been fixed, then it will definitely be time for me to find an alternative program (happy though I otherwise am with Anki). Thanks, though, for the suggestion.
Thanks auntanki for the reminder that I could always just install for the standard user. I will do so for the moment, But it is really annoying that a program which was always appropriately coded to install in /Applications and be usable by all, suddenly won’t. Even more annoying is that they apparently fixed it in 2.1.55 beta2 and then unfixed it in 2.1.55 beta3. Grrrr.
(and, having looked at the so-called alternatives to Anki, I think I will have to agree with your assessment.)
