Mojave Security Update 2020-05

FYI, Security Update 2020-05 seems to have broken the ability to use Swift screensavers on Mojave.

This doesn’t appear to have anything Xojo-specific, but who knows? E.g. if it’s a general issue loading plugins or Dylibs build in Swift, it could possibly affect your Xojo app…

It’s also broken my ability to install VirtualBox or run VM VMs. Which is a nuisance.

Apple never ceases to surprise me, always making life difficult for those who need to work on the platform.

Congratulations Apple team for constantly screwing up my life! !

Updated Info:

• This problem seems to only happen on 10.14 Mojave
• The order in which you install Safari 14 and Security Update 2020-005 matters - if you installed Safari 14 first, then you will have the issue.
• The only workaround at the present time is to reinstall macOS 10.14.6 Mojave
