Hello everyone, I have downloaded Figma to use in this version of my laptop but it is not opening. Any dialog is popping up saying that Figma is not compatible with this version.

When I click the Figma icon in the applications folder to opening, it just stays jumping on the navbar donw the page and never opens.

I hope somebody can help please. I don´t is anything related with some system permissions but a dialog to login should come up.

Try installing v124.6.5 (Figma Desktop App or Figma Agent) and blocking the desktop.figma.com domain using the hosts file.

Figma Desktop App:
https://desktop.figma.com/mac/Figma-124.6.5.zip

Figma Agent:
https://desktop.figma.com/agent/mac/FigmaAgent-124.6.5.zip

Or try installing the PKG:

@tank666 Thank you for sharing. Can you elaborate on how to block Figma from auto installing future updates please?

@johnathan.frydman You should install the PKG kindly offered by ​@tank666. Then open Terminal this step is very important and must be done before opening the installed Figma app.

  1. Enter the following command:
    defaults write com.figma.Desktop SUEnableAutomaticChecks -bool NO

  2. Then enter:
    defaults write com.figma.Desktop SUAutomaticallyUpdate -bool NO

After that, Figma should run without any updates.
