DUO + Apple MacOS Sequoia - Firewall is not enabled but it is

[clhwerkx]

Having an issue with DUO desktop, think its related to the MacOS beta for Sequoia. Any idea when this will be updated?

Application Firewall

Deprecations

• Application Firewall settings are no longer contained in a property list. If your app or workflow relies on changing Application Firewall settings by modifying /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist, then you need to make changes to use the socketfilterfw command line tool instead. (124405935)

Hi there!

We don't claim to support macOS beta releases with our software, but rest assured it will be tested for compatibility ahead of the Sequoia GA. If for some reason our apps aren't compatible with Sequoia GA day 1, we'll note that in our documentation.

So it's released now, time to figure out why and provide a solution.

I experienced the same issue after upgrade to macOS Seqoia 15.1.1... and my previous Duo Desktop version (previously working) was 6.10.0. 

Anyway... 7.1.0 is now available (in addition to 7.0.0)... and after I forced a new Duo Desktop PKG download & install... it is working again

@Shawn Wargo Did you have automatic updates disabled for Duo Desktop? If not, interesting that yours didn't update automatically. Hopefully it will going forward.
