Topic: UFX II very difficult to install on Mac OS 12

I've just got a new M1 Mac and it came with OS 12.  Finally figured out I had the wrong driver.  The most recent one on the download page is not the most recent driver. and the instruction to use "OS 11" is not very clear.  Perhaps changing that to "For OS 12 don't use this driver use the one that says it's for 11.  Then next to the OS 11 one write "Also use this one for Mac OS 12" would have saved me an hour of messing around.  Then I had to go through the whole thing of turning off mac security and I had to reinstall the driver serval times to get it to finally work (after the 5th restart).  This is crazy. 

It finally seems to work at least!

There was a forum explaining another way to do this with the command line without having to disable mac security.

But the post is for OS 13 and we're on 15 now so I don't' dare try it as its working now.  Could someone at RME please try that out and see if it works on OS 15?  Thanks, I really don't like having my security turned off.  Thanks.

Re: UFX II very difficult to install on Mac OS 12

Apple changed the numbering convention for macOS.  10.15 was the last of the '10' (X) series.  After that came 11.x, then 12.x, and just this week 13.x.  See here for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS#Release_history

Your M1 came with 12.x Monterrey.

Re: UFX II very difficult to install on Mac OS 12

Sorry yes you're right Mrkahuna.  I got OS 12 right in the post title but wrong everywhere else!  I don't know how I did that.  I'm on 12.5  I've corrected it now in the post.  Thanks for point it out.
