xSchedule for Mac has been deprecated, as of earlier this year.  I think the last version to include it was around 2020.15 or 2020.17?

My impression was that there weren't enough people using it on Mac to justify the continued maintenance of keeping it working for Mac.

The recommendations I've seen are:
a) Use FPP on a Raspberry Pi
b) run xSchedule on a Windows machine
c) run xSchedule on Windows, inside a VM, on your Mac.

OMG! Please Please Please don't abandon the MAC. I hate windows! I have my Falcon up and running and couldn't stand the thought of having to purchase on entire PC setup just to run XLights!  I can't be the only one out there. The Xschedule version I have runs great and I'm running Xlights vers 40 right now.
Take pity please

I don't think Mac is being abandoned at all, for xLights... just xSchedule.  In fact, Dan Kulp has invested the time/effort to get xLights into the App Store.  Apparently, having it in the App Store also allows for deeper crash reports and debugging info.  If anything, I wonder if Mac will be the best platform for xLights for that reason.

I personally use FPP for the scheduling side of things, and like that it is dedicated and separate from my sequencing machine.

Is there a way to get a hold of an older version of xSchedule for Mac?
I was just ready to start my first light show on a schedule, but discoverd that xSchedule was nowhere to be found :(

I found this site that has an older xLights, MAC xScheduler software 2018.55. You can start with this until you find the 2020.40. xScheduler https://www.techspot.com/downloads/7127-xlights.html

Thanks Brightlights.
I'm also trying to compile the latest version myself. I'm new to compiling for OSX though, so we'll see how that goes  ::)
