Hi Rafi,
Personally I haven’t made the step to Catalina, but helped out fellow developers.
There’s a gotcha on installing the old Mac Java 6 installer, which is still needed for older Servoy versions.
The 2019 versions run without any problem.
Running a 15 inch Touch Bar MBP (2018) myself, I like it
I don’t know what your specific question on the 16 inch MBP is, but Servoy is very capable of handling that extra inch
Hi Marc, thanks.
I wanted to check if Servoy 2019.x worked ok on MBP16, which Graham seems to have answered…

Hi Rafi
Highly recomend the MBPro16 - I’m on my 2nd as had keyboard issue after 5 weeks with first one. But Apple store insist the problem was “unique” - so that’s alright thenHowever they agreed to replace on the spot so only cost me a few hours.
Keyboard is much nicer than my previous 2014 MBPro and the extra screen size is nice to have. Extra RAM and CPU performance would be very useful if my coding was efficient enough to use them.
As Marc says you will need to install the older Java 6 to run SV74x Developer - just follow the link when you startup Servoy - but then it is business as usual.
You will notice the extra weight if carrying around a lot but can count it as good exercise.
Hi Graham, thanks for clarifying that, it’s always nice to know…
As Apple are still offering 0% finance (in UK) until 30th Jan., I think I might take this opportunity to make the change
(I will have to install the old Java for some old clients Servoy 7 stuff, but the rest is now in Servoy 8 & 2019…)
Thanks all
