##### A: **SDRPlay API version 3.12+ for Mac OS**
A new release of API version 3.12 of the Mac OS API was published on 2-Dec-2023. This release enables sdrtrunk to use the SDRPlay receiverss without requiring any additional steps. If you downloaded and installed Mac OS API version 3.12 prior to this release date, download a fresh copy and reinstall it.
A new release of [API](https://www.sdrplay.com/api/) version 3.15 of the Mac OS API was published on 7-May-2024. This release enables sdrtrunk to use the SDRPlay receivers without requiring any additional steps. If you downloaded and installed a Mac OS API version prior to this release date, download a fresh copy and reinstall it.
You may also need to make sure the API service is loaded. If you start sdrtrunk and it reports not finding any RSP devices yet you're sure one is plugged in then it may be because the API service is not present:
```
INFO i.g.d.s.t.m.TunerManager - Discovered [0] RSP devices from SDRplay API
```
You can load and check for the service with these steps:
```
$ cd /Library/SDRplayAPI/3.15.0
$ launchctl load plist/com.sdrplay.service.plist
$ launchctl list | grep sdrplay
- 78 com.sdrplay.service
```
##### A: **SDRPlay API version 3.11 (and older) for Mac OS**
Java is unable to use the SDRPlay API installed driver as it is named, so you have to create a symbolic link to the driver that uses the filename that sdrtrunk is expecting. The SDRPlay folks are going to update the installer in a future release to use the *.dylib file extension for their Mac OS driver.
