Moodle & MacOS Catalina 10.15

After naively accepting to upgrade my Macbook pro to the new MacOS Catalina 10.15, I spent the best part of one hour accepting the many errors thrown (and adding so many exceptions) by MAMP 4.11 included in my Moodle for Mac, because Apple does not trust this MAMP version.

I finally managed to get it to work, but I would not recommend the experience to anybody.

Are there plans to update soon the MAMP included in the Moodle installer packages for Mac ?

Perhaps in time for the Moodle 3.8 release?

German, this might be a good time to upgrade to MAMP 5.1.  I think this version is 64-bit.

Hello!

I have faced some problems with Moodle app too.
I updated my iPhone, version 13.1.3 and now in some exercices it doesn't recognize the right answer (which has an impact for our students using an updated iPhone).

I tested with Android, worked fine.

Do you have any clues or is there a way we can rectify this?

Thanks

Has there been any progress on this? I've just stumbled into this same issue myself. The MAMP Moodle package is very frustrating to setup now because of the long process of having to individually authorize (add exceptions for) each module accessed. Suddenly, using the MAMP package available here from Moodle.org, for setting up a testing environment, has become extremely cumbersome. sad

There has to be a way, via command line?, to bulk allow the entire package...?

A quick update/reply to my own inquiry. The best solution, for now, is to turn off Gatekeeper running on Catalina in MacOS. This can be accomplished via the following:

1. Open Terminal
2. Change directory to - /Applications/Utilities/
3. Run command --> sudo --spctl-disable
4. Run or restart MAMP
5. Later, to turn Gatekeeper back on use the following command from the same directory: sudo --spctl-enable

This worked for me. smile

Regards
Jason
