The Digilent website states that Waveforms v 3.7.5 works with OS X 10.9. However, it always crashes on launch here.

v 3.6.8 works just fine.

Here is the first section of the crash trace...

Ok - I now have an actual Analog 2, so here's more feedback. Despite the above advice, I had some fun (?) getting Waveforms to recognize the device with the Mavericks build you cited on Feb 11. Sometimes I got the message 'No device detected', while at other times (not sure of the circumstances) I got a message telling me to delete the driver, and the relevant window opens in the Finder. I deleted and reinstalled the driver shat was included with the Mavericks release several times.

One possible complication is that I have Parallels Desktop running. When a new USB device is connected, Parallels pops up a window asking whether you want to connect it to the host OS or a virtual machine (I am of course selecting the host OS). However, trying Waveforms with Parallels not running made no difference.

I then went back to the last version of Waveforms that was stable on OS X 10.9, v 3.5.4. Starting that popped up a dialog telling me that no FTDI driver was installed, and asking me if I wanted to install one. When I ok'd that it installed the driver, but this made no difference: Waveforms v 3.5.4 still gave the 'No device detected' message on launch. Rebooting as in your item 2 above did, finally, allow v 3.5.4 to recognize the device (hooray!).  After that the Mavericks build detected the Analog 2 and also works.

I'm passing this back as feedback, as this experience suggests that maybe with the Mavericks build (for which, by the way, many thanks) it is necessary to install an older version of Waveforms first and then upgrade, as my efforts to get the Mavericks build to work 'cold' were unsuccessful, rather going round in FTDI driver-induced circles.

I'm really excited at having got this to work. If it performs as well as I suspect it will, it makes possible projects that I would never have been able to afford with discrete instrumentation.

You can install different versions of Mac OS /OS X  on different disks, or different partitions of one disk, and boot in the version you like. So also with only one Mac you can have access to different Versions of the OS.

The old Mac Pro 5.1 can boot into everything from OS 10.6 up to the current OS.  The formerly top-of-the-line models are still quite fast (I regularly compile gcc with one such). Moreover they are available for not too much money nowadays.

I tested with three different Mac: a MacPro 3.1 (from 2008), a MacPro 5.1 and a Macbook Pro late 2013. The crash always occurs. So the mentioned "it should run with old hardware" is not the case here. Moreover I do not run Mojave but the older OS 10.9, so also the older  ktext.

Thus I think the linked thread has no connection with the issue.

I understand. At least WF 3.6.8 works here.

At some point soon I will actually get a physical Analog Discovery 2 (the relevant project's been on the back-burner for 18 months), which will allow me to test whether this is anything to do with running WF in demo mode. At present though it's looking as if more recent versions of WF aren't compatible with OS X 10.9 ('Mavericks').

(I'm stuck with Mavericks for reasons of not rocking the boat with more mission-critical stuff, like all my costly Adobe software that runs under an OS X 10.6 virtual machine in Parallels, plus FrameMaker under Windows 7, ditto.)

I'm almost positive that this is the result of building the libraries in a newer version of OSX. I only have access to a single piece of physical MAC hardware here and it's now running High Sierra. I upgraded to try and help users who were having issues in newer OSX and now it seems the end result of that is producing software is no longer compatible with older versions of the OS. Maybe there's a compatibility parameter that can be added to the build script that will allow it to work with older distributions. It sure would be a lot easier to support OSX if Apple would allow us to legally run OSX in Vmware workstation for Windows.
