Staff MattP Posted November 4, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi everyone, This is just a quick message to let everyone know that the Mac App Store update of Affinity Designer 1.1.2 is about to be released. As soon as you get the new update, your beta version will stop loading. We will have this problem fixed within a couple of hours of the App Store update, but you can work around it if you wish by running the beta before you update, now the beta will continue to run and not be affected by the update. It's worth noting that the Mac App Store version is the same as the current beta version with the exception that it didn't have the OpenType GPOS support changes and the brush editor dialog was a slightly older version. Aside from that, I think there are no benefits of being able to run the beta instead. We will update the beta as soon as possible after the Mac App Store update and have a new version back up for you with a range of new changes including dashed lines - hopefully within a couple of hours after the update goes live. We are sorry for any inconvenience this temporary change causes. Thanks again, Matt Figmatt, Sven Kalkschmidt, Dale and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbwebdiz Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi, Updated the stable version before the beta (man...), now it's prompting me with the "Retail version Required" popup.. Did you mean this would happen when you said "beta will not work after app store update", or is this something else? :) Thanks, B. web & graphic designer :: front-end web developer :: illustrator www.dribbble.com/bbwebdiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 4, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2014 bbwebdiz, download the latest beta (1.0.20213) from here and that problem should be fixed. Raskolnikov 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejt Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 A warning, too ... the App Store version *must* be in the main Applications folder ... I had placed it in a subfolder, Applications -> Drawing Tools, and the beta complained that I needed the App Store version. After moving the App Store version to the root Applications folder, all was well again. Apparently the beta *only* looks in the main folder. Perhaps the next time it could check in *both* the folder it's currently located *and* the main Applications folder? p10n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe must be both of the Affnity Apps in the same folder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Gummer Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm getting the retail version required error, with current beta, both versions at top level in my applications folder. What to do? one planet, one chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RorydEon Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm getting the same message as Tim Gummer. I've tried running the MAS app then the beta—no go. Is there a solution to this? I have the last MAS version and latest beta. Author and Publisher of novels, poetry and children's books. deon.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2015 RorydEon, Are both the MAS and the Beta versions installed? You must have both installed. Have you tried to restart the computer? If it still doesn't work, drag the MAS version to the trash and install it again from the Mac Store app. Also make sure you're running the latest Beta. Let me now if you still have trouble.

RorydEon Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I've re-downloaded and everything works. Thanks. (Yes, I do have both installed) Author and Publisher of novels, poetry and children's books. deon.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 21, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2015 Glad to know it's sorted out :) A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
