I have found out that problems to write to a FGDB layer with the Lable toolbar is because GDAL is outdated in version 3.30 on macos. The same operation works with windows 3.30 and the same data. example: change font size on a selected feature from FGDB source using the

Do anyone now if and when the inner workings (like GDAL) on Qgis for mac is to be updated?

If this has not happened yet I can write the email; the latest release has GDAL 3.3.2 (9/2021) and the latest one which is required for several features to work correctly is 3.7.0 (5/2023)

@dawgermany @eflaten do you know if there is any progress to update the *.dmg GDAL to a more recent version?
Unfortunately the outdated GDAL 3.3.2 is becoming more and more a problem for us.

What I do is using the new "experimental" installer:

Its up to date and even if I use term experimental, the installed app is stable and I guess as good as it can be with fresh GDAL and other internal components. Just get it right now :)

@eflaten thank you. This works like a charm, I will recommend this our macOS users!

Seems to be a hidden way to get 3.36 as LTR ;-)
