Need to bear in mind that It's taken RootsMagic's developers more than 4 years to plan/invest in and produce an 'alpha' cross-platform (Windows and MacOS) version of their software based on a single code base and, by their own admission, it's still not quite ready for beta testing.Īlso, considering both the financial investment required (only possible to legitimately install and run MacOS on Apple Hardware) and the probable need to completely rewrite the FH software in a 'new' programming language to produce a single code base that can be compiled to run on both Windows and MacOS - leaving Linux to one side, as I know of no commercial developer who has yet produced a Linux version of any Genealogy/Family Tree software - it would be very surprising if any such possibility wasn't trailed alongside the initial announcement already made that FH7 is nearing the beta testing stage. I think the best Mac Users can hope for is that Calico Pie continues its efforts to ensure the application can run effectively in a virtualised Windows environment and/or under WINE. As far as any hopes for a native MacOS version of Family Historian goes, whilst I would like to be surprised, I certainly won't be holding my breath for any such development, especially as Calico Pie seems to be firmly fixed on the Windows platform and doesn't appear to have shown any inclination (yet) to develop a companion iOS/Android app.
