  • 1.  macOS 10.15.4 - Legacy System Extension

    Posted Mar 26, 2020 01:23 PM
    When I upgraded to macOS 10.15.4 I received a warning that Symantec Endpoint Protection was using a legacy system extension. I saw that you had a support article about this, but this does not state when you will release an update with modern alternatives. Using the legacy extensions is making our Macs less secure and stable than (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210999). Please can you confirm your plans for this? Mac users would appreciate a release to resolve it ASAP. I believe Apple first warned developers about this nearly a year ago in June 2019.

    Updated On: 09-03-2020 07:37 Installation of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) for Mac on a pre-10.15.4 macOS system, which is then upgraded to 10.15.4 or newer will prompt the end-user with a warning message about a Legacy System Extension that will be incompatible in future releases of macOS.

    Hi Stephen, Apple decided to include this reminder in 10.15.4. We planned to use newly system extension when 10.16 is available in summer timeframe.

    Thanks Lee. Good to hear. Although it would be even better if you could do this earlier than summer so our systems are more secure and stable before then.

    Agreed with Stephen, we are in the same boat, If I understand Apple correctly, this message will be repeated every 30 days to the end user....

    Please update SEP before 10.16 comes out.
