Yesterday the new Mac OS Catalina was released. With it Apple throws out all 32 bit applications. VASL is shown as incompatible. Has anyone experienced if VASL works with OS Catalina?

Thanks

I'll be upgrading today (or tonight) and will report back my findings and the appropriate workarounds. Java is already 64bit so I presume any issue would be with the launcher which I think is just a script.

Thank you for your answer and your effort.

Fresh install of Catalina. Downloaded Java8 from Oracle. Downloaded VASSAL. Downloaded VASL. Seemed to run ok.

Thank you very much for the information. Then i will probably update as well. But it won't be a complete reinstallation but just an update. I think the existing VASL installation will continue to work.

As I posted in another thread, you can use Java 13 (I used brew cask install java to get it) and then you just need the special cut that zgrose posted and whala it VASSAL/VASL works great in Catalina with Java 13.
