Long time user. For the past few months, my Airtable Mac app has been broken, not allowing me to view bases within the app. I can only view account settings. When I click on a workspace name, it opens in the browser. I’m on macOS v13.6.7, and Airtable v1.6.6 Universal. Any suggestions how to resolve?

As a data point, I’m on macOS 15.5, Airtable 1.6.6 (3) and workspaces and bases load up fine in the app

Does this behaviour persist with a different account and after installing a fresh copy of the app?  Might want to open a support ticket directly I think

It’s working fine for me.

You may want to try pulling down from Airtable’s “Help” menu to “Clear cache and reload”.

If that doesn’t work, you may want to try upgrading to a newer version of macOS and see if that helps.

Even though Airtable says that their app will run on macOS versions going all the way back to the year 2017, I’m not sure how accurate that is.

Your version of macOS was discontinued by Apple 3+ years ago, and there have been 3 major releases of macOS since then. The current version is macOS 26. Maybe that will help fix the problem.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if your problem is running High Sierra. I hadn’t thought to try Airtable on 10.13, but I’m messing with a Mac Pro I just got that’s on 10.13.6, so if you’d like I could try it this evening and see if I run into the same problems 🤷‍♂️

As Scott mentioned, if it’s possible you really should update at this point, 10.13 isn’t secure and you’ve got to be dealing with a bunch of workarounds to keep it functional at this point. I got my Mac Pro for a song and I just want to tinker with some MacGarden games, not for actual work (and I’m capped at 10.13 because my current video card doesn’t support Metal). Depending on your device, you could also look into OpenCore Legacy Patcher to update Macs past Apple’s defined limits.
