Given that MacOS Sequoia has been in developer beta for months now, will it be supported with Quickbooks Desktop for Mac 2024 when it comes out in September?

QuickBooks Desktop for Mac

Looks like QB Mac Plus 2024 v23.1.4 R5.1 is now compatible with Sequoia. I have updated to Sequoia and to that rev of QB Mac through "Check for QuickBooks Updates ..." in the menu bar and it seems to be working. Haven't done any rigorous testing, but at least it doesn't crash on startup or anything. Here is the change log:

Learning from Intuit's work patterns over the years (including when Sonoma released), DO NOT upgrade your OS immediately after release. You should wait at least 2 months before considering upgrading your OS to Sequoia to run QB. I'm confident Intuit will make sure that QBD 2022-2024 support Sequioa but they will need time to release updates and make those versions stable. What about QBD 2021 or older versions? Intuit will not release any updates for outdated versions. If you're running QBD 2019-2021, I recommend staying with Sonoma until next year and keeping an eye out for any updates from other early adopters.

Hello there, John. Let me share information regarding MacOS Sequoia in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

In QBDT for Mac, it's advisable not to upgrade your operating system immediately after its release. It would be better to wait at least two months before upgrading to Sequoia to run QuickBooks. I suggest sticking with Sonoma until next year and keeping track of any updates from other early adopters.

And this is what I don't understand. MacOS Sequoia developer betas have been available since June 10th and every one of my other third-party software vendors has been tracking the betas since then and will be ready on day one of Sequoia's release.

I know that Intuit is trying hard to beat their customers into buying Quickbooks Online, but considering that I spend over $600 a year for maintenance, I should expect more than to have to wait TWO MONTHS to have my Quickbooks software properly supported every year.
