My Figma automatically updated to the latest version, but it now says that it is incompatible with my Mac OS version and cannot run. Is there a location I can find the download link for an older version of the desktop app for Mac? Versions prior to 116.17.9 ran correctly. Thanks!

I was struggling with updated version as well. Thank you for sharing the link 🙂

Solution works with 10.13.6 High Sierra. ✅

The question now is: how to prevent it to autoupdate without my consent, and shut down any future update requests altogether.

There are definitely ways but Figma would probably boot me off the app if I told you

@Timmm I feel like you want to talk lol, so shoot me an email at “new dot cat nine one three six at fastmail dot com”, thank you.

Using Lulu or some other firewall app, just block the following:

/Applications⁩ > ⁨Figma⁩ > ⁨Contents⁩ > ⁨Frameworks⁩ >Figma Helper.app

Actually the Begiinner Friendly Figma Version is 2 years Before only so Latest Updated Version is Useful for Pro and master in Figma…
Hard pain Was Any Tutorial Vedios in a Youtube or Any Other Resources use The Older Version 🤥 🤧

Try contacting Figma Support for an older version or use the web app as a workaround. 🚀 feel free to check out my new blog: https://dolarberaparupiah.id/. Your support means a lot! 😊🚀

My Figma automatically updated to the latest version, but now it says it is not compatible with my Mac OS version (10.15.7) and cannot be run. Is there a location where I can find the download link for an older version of the Mac desktop app?
