My Mac runs 11.7.10 and can’t update to 12.  I have just updated to the latest version of Figma app which now tells me it won’t run on my Mac.

 

Is there any way I can get back to my previous version or am I now going to be forced to buy a new Mac?

Same here. I would rather have the ability to choose to use the desktop app that’s not the latest, than not being able to use the desktop app at all. I’m now forced to use the web version with no heads up or any warning. I would like to be able to access an earlier version of the desktop app but am not able to find it on the https://www.figma.com/downloads/ page ☹️ This is such a poor and abrupt experience.

Even their article here is not up to date. It states that the minimum operating system (OS) requirement is macOS 11 or later.

It’s for Figma in the browser. Here are the requirements for the Figma app

You can try this, but Figma will probably automatically update app after every restart

Choose the link that matches your operating system.

Replace the app build number in the link with the one you need.

@JJUNEE Are there any other compatible versions you would recommend? (I think the problem is most likely caused by `electron`, as it seems many applications developed based on this framework are no longer compatible with macOS 11, which is really frustrating.)

After upgrading today, it told me it was incompatible, and the link you recommended is completely inaccessible. I'm wondering where I can find the previous version, which at least still works.😂

I have retrieved the previous version: https://desktop.figma.com/mac/build/Figma-1<`year`>.<`month`>.6.dmg // Intel Mac

Figma-125.9.6

The available version is https://desktop.figma.com/mac/build/Figma-125.9.6.dmg Other versions can be explored separately (starting from version 10, it has been incompatible with macOS 11). Although version 125.9.6 works, the dialog box that doesn't display any update information cannot be closed. I sincerely hope that the Figma team can release a version compatible with older machines or improve the update experience (it's unrealistic to expect the Figma team to abandon Electron or adjust Electron's compatibility themselves). I hope this information can help users who share my confusion.
