I see there is a new ARM64 build for Mac. 1.6.3_1. Are there any release notes on what's changed?

utnik, Thanks so much. I did get it to work finally but I'm not sure what the problem with Acrobat was. So now I have a PDF for the website and another for the printer that will work. Your advice about finding a good scribus manual is well taken. I have bumped into the limits of my knowledge, actually that probably happened a while ago.  Thanks again.

Thanks much, I confirm the new 1.6.3_1 DMG works on Sonoma.

Just noticed the following bug report, that seems to confirm it's a build issue: https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=17409

Just tried installing Scribus on an M1 Mac mini running Monterey, which has never seen Scribus before. Same steps as before, but this error dialog sheds a bit more light on the problem. Still trying to figure out how to upload the screenshot, but the subtext in the error dialog reads (emphasis mine):

You have macOS 12.6.5. The application requires macOS 15.0 or later.

Sorry, but that looks like a build config issue to me.

Sidenote: I've been installing Scribus via Homebrew for quite some time now, and never had any issues until the 1.6.3 update. That's when I tried the manual download and got the same result (which I was already half-expecting since Homebrew uses the same DMG, but I decided to try the manual way just in case).

OK, here's what I did on my M2 MacBook Air (Mac14,2) running Sonoma:

1. Use AppCleaner to remove all traces of Scribus, including the preferences and app support directories.
2. Double-click on scribus-1.6.3-arm64.dmg, dated 2025-01-08 when downloaded from SF.
3. Drag the Scribus icon to the Applications folder icon.
4. file /Applications/Scribus/Contents/MacOS/Scribus reports Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64 as expected.
5. Double-click the Scribus app icon in /Applications folder in Finder, immediately get the "you can't use this version of the application" error dialog that dragginDaybrake posted.

I'll try another build and uploaded to SourceForge later.
