Windows Phone App Mac Sierra

Posted on by

Do you want to use your Windows Phone under macOS Sierra? You are in luck – there is now a fix.

The ongoing saga of Mac support for the Windows Phone platform has hit yet another snag. Microsoft removed the official Windows Phone app for the Mac a while back.

The Windows Phone app for the Mac worked fine until the release of El Capitan, and then issues arose. Connecting your phone to your Mac, the app just wouldn’t recognise that a phone was connected, making syncing impossible.

For a company struggling to cut into the established smartphone market, dropping support for the competitors OS and not updating the only method for syncing really isn’t the wisest move.

Luckily a kind and talented guy on the Microsoft forums named TomW80 created a fix. I wrote about the El Capitan Windows Phone App Fix back in late 2015.

Hi, I need to sync photos from a Windows Phone 8.1 (not mine actually) to a macOs High Sierra. On my previous Mac, I used to have a little App from Microsoft to help synchronizing, but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore! Jan 30, 2018  About the app In this workaround, we’re going to use the macOS High Sierra Patcher app from the dosdude1.com. This app is intended for those with unsupported Macs and Hackintosh users, but any Mac user can use the app to be able to download the complete macOS Mojave installer.

Dec 22, 2015  Let me just be sure I understand this. Apple, by not making the windows phone app available for download on the U.S. Store, is preventing anyone in the U.S. Who owns a windows phone (I got one b/c it was the cheapest smartphone available) from transferring music files or pictures or whatever from their Mac to their windows phone.

However, with the release of macOS Sierra, the Windows Phone app was once again broken. Thankfully, TomW80 has come up wonders once again after reporting the issue to him. A few days later, and he has come up with a fix.

The Sierra patch requires you to have a copy of the Windows Phone app that has already had the El Capitan patch applied. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Windows Phone app for Macs isn’t available officially anymore, and neither Low End Mac or TomW80 will supply it, so you will have to source an original version or an El Capitan patched version.

This is a little more complicated than the last patch. However, the instructions are fairly easy to follow – requiring a terminal window and copying and pasting.

I tried it with a Nokia Lumia 620 handset running Windows 8.1, and it worked for me. I was able to once again sync music to it. The instructions should work for all Windows 7, 8, and 10 handsets.
