Support for macOS 10.14 Mojave

Just want to make sure when will it be compatible? Because I want to install Mojave but don't want to stuck into the problem of incompatible VMs.
 
Just a suggestion. Wondering if it might be possible for Parallels to work with Apple in the future to get early access to new betas of MacOS. Maybe a couple of weeks early? As you can see by this thread there are quite a few of us who would like to use Parallels to test the new OS without having to dedicate a piece of hardware to it. In fact, I have reached the point where I don't even really use Parallels for Windows anymore. So without being able to run MacOS betas I don't have much of a use for keeping my Parallels license up to date. Thanks.

Despite our good relationship with Apple, I doubt that they would accommodate such a thing as early access to a new macOS version for us or someone else. Anyway I have forwarded your suggestion to our Product Management team. We're doing our best to resolve this situation now, the fix is in progress.

Thanks, Dimitry. But I believe that you only need to look at a WWDC keynote and certain product release keynotes to see that Apple frequently allows early access to code for certain software partners. I have to believe that they can be persuaded to understand the benefit of partnering with Parallels. After all, many people I know wouldn't have even bought a Mac without Parallels being available as an option.

Thanks, but it still does not work. Even after mounting the ISO it does not appear in the Finder window nor Desktop. In the end I copied the ISO to the VM and ran uninstall from there. Thanks.

Even that didn't work for me. When I double-click on "Uninstall" it refuses to run because it apparently isn't codesigned (is that really true?). If I then click on "Open anyway" in "Security & Privacy" it appears to open, only to quit immediately with no apparent effect. Rebooting the VM confirms that the toolbox hasn't been uninstalled...
 
Do you think the Parallels Tools will work better with Mojave Developer Preview 2? I'm scared to try installing them. But they make Parallels work so much better.
 
I have just updated to Mojave Developer Preview 2 and it works :) Previously I have installed Mojave with Parallels Tools. I have problem with visibility of the mouse pointer but I don't have to minimize Parallels window to make visible changes. It seems that Mojave after update works better in Parallels VM.
 
Confirmed. I have a clean High Sierra VM that I make linked clones of for testing stuff. So I made a clone, removed Parallels tool. Upgraded. Installed Parallels tools. Video is working fine. No problems with the mouse pointer here.

Edit: "working fine" is a relative term. There are still plenty of issues. Firefox, for example, is completely wacked. I am in Retina mode. I need to test it in scaled mode.

it is far from saying that video is working fine, but currently is working, because previously it is not working at all for me. In my VM is still problem with mouse pointer which sometimes disappear and full screen mode which is not "full screen" but "partially full screen" (I have black lines on the top and on the bottom).
 
I can confirm that the 2nd developers beta works way better. I could reinstall Parallel Tools and get a higher res screen. The mouse pointer was initially very large. However, once I increased the resolution, it reverted to normal behaviour.

This is a really timely update: just when I decided to install Mojave Beta in a VM. :-)
Thanks a lot,
Axel

By any chance, have you been able to patch Parallels 12? It comes up asking 'to run virtual machines please allow the parallels components to load on your Mac', but when I click to open the system preferences panel, there is no message to 'allow'. I tried manually putting parallels in to the accessibility spot, but I don't know all of the places it needs to be installed to do it manually. Could you let me know what to manually install or if there is a patch coming that will do it for itself?

Thanks!
