No Unity Integration Options For Mac

Question

Hello! I have been struggling with an issue for a while now which I think I have traced to not having unity packages installed. Under packages, Unity integration does not appear. When I try a clean install there are also no options. I am working on projects for school requiring me to use Unity Build: 6000.0.23f1 Wwise Build: 2024.1.0.8669. All of the trouble shooting fixes I can find point to confirming integration, but I have nothing to interact with and can not figure out why. The unity project, under integrated platforms, shows an "x" where that apple should be and a windows sign. So I know I have not mac integration, but I can not work out the reason I do not have the option to integrate or why Unity does not appear at all in my packages anytime during or after the installation process. Any help GREATLY appreciated. 

Answer 1

I was able to reinstall wwise and get the prompt to integrate unity again, which failed. Looking at the logs I noticed it was getting a license authorization denial from Unity. Although I had a free license, this was a new computer so I clicked add license in Unity again and it added the file needed for authorization. When I went to reintegrate it said it was successful. 

Unfortunately that did not solve my problem. I still show no Mac integration in the Wwise Launcher. Unity says "connected" but, for example, when I try to establish remote access in Wwise, Unity does not appear.
