AWS VPN Client for Mac not starting on Sonoma 14.3.1 (Intel)

The AWS VPN Client is crashing when trying to select a configuration file.

This might be helpful from the logs:

Is MacOS 14.x not supported at all?

Thanks a lot for any hints

Talked to AWS Support which recommended to

Uninstall and install the AWS VPN client. Try restarting your machine after uninstalling and then after installing the VPN client software. Retry importing the configuration file after you have installed the VPN client.

I tried that before but without restart. To my surprise it is working now.

It could be that this version of macOS is not yet supported. Currently the requirements are either macOS Big Sur (11.0), Monterey (12.0), or Ventura (13.0)

  • Yeah unfortunately they do not mention 14.0 explicitly. But after a reinstall and reboot it works. Thanks!
