The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. IBM should give RDi Mac users the same level of support that Windows users get.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

Users are now in a position where they can't use RDi on their Macs and a resolution needs to be found very quickly.

My request is a little more all embracing. I would simply like IBM to give RDi Mac users the same level of support that Windows users get. Mac installation has been an on-going nightmare for several years now and despite having jumped through many hoops and reinstalls of RDi and IM I still do not have a reliably working** install on Catalina have resisted upgrading due to the anticipated problems.
** Mostly exploding and disappearing plug-ins.
