We released the update for 2022 last night. All updates for Sonoma have now been released: 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The 2020 and 2019 versions are no longer supported - this is the same Intuit policy on QuickBooks Mac and Windows.

 

We have spoken with Apple and identified the bugs in Sonoma causing these issues. Apple may address the issues in a future version - I can't speak for Apple.

 

I've been trying to find a workaround for 2020 and 2019 but haven't been able to find a solution.

 

My recommendations if you want to run Sonoma:

 

If you are on 2021 or above apply the updates. 

If you are on 2020 or below you can update to a newer version. Yes, its a subscription, yes it costs money. I don't have any say in that. 

 

You can hang on and hope Apple releases fixes for these bugs. No guarantees there and no idea of the timeline.

 

You can install Parallels and make a virtual machine running Ventura macOS.  You can run QuickBooks Mac 2020 or earlier version there. IMO this is preferable to running Windows under Parallels as you'd still have to buy Windows (macOS is free) and you'd have to buy QuickBooks Windows which is the same price and subscription as QuickBooks Mac. 

 

You can move to a competitor. 

 

I think there's value in being on the newer releases as we are constantly fixing things and adding functionality. The older software versions don't change - they are actually "read only" and QuickBooks never writes to them - but the macOS, external apps like Mail and Outlook, and Intuit servers all change.  Threats and security requirements change. But only you can decide if its worth the cost.
