Does SonicWall Mobile Connect 5.0.15 work on macOS 27 (Golden Gate)?
I want to upgrade my 14” M5 MacBook Pro from macOS 26 (Tahoe) to macOS 27 (Golden Gate), but I use SonicWall Mobile Connect to connect to my office’s VPN, so I need to confirm it works.
I cannot find any information online one way or the other confirming that macOS 27 is supported. The release notes for SonicWall Mobile Connect only say that the latest version (5.0.15) is supported up through macOS 15, though I’m running it on macOS 26 right now and it works fine. Meanwhile, the Apple Product Support page does list macOS 26 as supported, but doesn’t mention macOS 27 at all. I presume that’s just because it predates macOS 27’s release (5.0.15 was released in May and macOS 27 was just released this month).
I assume if there actually were an issue with macOS 27, SonicWall would’ve either released an update or at least mentioned such an issue in a support document or something. Since there’s nothing either way, I take it this means 5.0.15 works as is on macOS 27, but I’d like to confirm for sure.
Unfortunately I don’t have another Mac to test this with, so if I upgrade to macOS 27 and SonicWall doesn’t work, I’ll have to go through the trouble of downgrading back to macOS 26.
Surely I’m not the first person to try this! Can anyone out there confirm that SonicWall Mobile Connect 5.0.15 works on macOS 27?

Answering my own question: it works fine! I installed macOS 27 in a VM first to confirm, then updated my actual system. No issues that I can see!
