Mac Catalina can't launch Wwise

Question

Hello Friends,

I update my Mac to Catalina and I tried to install Wwise but after the finish, it won't work. The black icon pops and something showed like a second and it shuts itself down.

I tried to reinstall, install 2018 but they all end up with the same consequence. Can anyone help? Below is the window I got after clicking the Launch button.

Below are the picture and the failure report I got. Any personnel who saw this, PLEASE gave my a hand.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

An error occurred. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you were in the middle of an installation, please restart the Wwise Launcher and try again.

Does this mean Wwise is now compatible with Catalina (i.e. fully 64-bit), except for this bug?

Hello Alexander,

This issue is not related to OSX version and not specific to Catalina.
Unfortunately, Wwise is still not compatible with Catalina yet, but we are working on it :).

OK, thanks for the clarification!

Thank you so much, Alexander!
