Apple's app store policies are definitely not a factor here. EOS Utility is freely available to owners of Canon cameras - not sold at all, let alone through the app store.
And to be clear, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to find that some software is incompatible with the new operating system - especially software that does the kind of communication that EOS Utility does. It is even understandable for a company like Canon to wait until the shipping version of the OS is available before finalizing any updates. (though there are many who would argue against both of these points).
I'm just trying to do due diligence and make sure I'm aware of any potential issues before I upgrade.

I didn't read your response before I replied to Neuro. You're right, it's not about Apple store policies but maybe about Apple as a company. But writing this I didn't know that the latest version wasn't shipping. But I do think that Apple gets away with a lot of stuff that Microsoft doesn't nowadays. My due diligence is to stay away from companies that doesn't try to be compatible.

I do apologize that I don't have vast experience of Canon software as I am fairly new to photography (at least in more enthusiastic terms). But tricks in IT I do have seen enough of. Maybe this one is due to laziness/incompetence within the Canon software development department, maybe not.

I'm certainly not suggesting that Apple is above shrewd, even cut-throat business practices. Samsung, anyone? But, I don't think that's the case here. Historically, Canon has lagged behind in getting compatible versions out for the Mac. As was pointed out, they also seem to get printer drivers out faster (which I'm sure makes sense in terms of customer base).

I think that's about it :D , I took a quick look at the other similar thread and there was a wise person indicating that Canon would likely provide support in a larger SW release together with their printer drivers etc. I will now go back to enjoying my Friday and watch the Olympics inauguration from London.

Hey there,
2.10.4 and 2.11.0 are working on mountain lion.
EvilTed:
2.11.4 does not work with 10.8 Mountain Lion.
When you turn the camera on it core dumps :(
I cannot even get a Windows 7 laptop to recognize the camera with 2.11.4, so I'm stuck.
I bought a shorty forty to mess around with on my 5D MK3 but after upgrading the firmware to 1.1.3, the lens profile is not present and it says the lens is not recognized.
2.11.1 did not include the 40.
How am I supposed to get the lens recognized Canon?
