This is a known bug with Swift screen savers in macOS/OS X reported (a long time ago.) to Apple as rdar://25569037.
"You cannot use the Aerial screen saver with this version of macOS." error, or you don't see a preview and the prefererences button is greyed out: Select Aerial, close System Preferences with Aerial still selected, re-open System Preferences and Aerial should now work. This will allow Aerial to use your location to calculate sunset and sunrise times, and if you enabled it, provide your current weather conditions. Then click on the Privacy tab and in order, click the green, orange and red circles : Open System Preferences and go into Security & Privacy: If that is the case, you can simply fix it following these instructions : If you enable Weather, or Adapting videos that shows based on time, you may encounter, when exiting the screen saver, this nagging panel that doesn't disappear despite clicking Allow :. Some current (or wanted/upcoming) features that require specific privileges are no longer working/impossible because of restrictions, this includes Right arrow key to skip. 
You may need to create this folder manually : ~/Library/Containers/.legacyScreenSaver/Data/Library/Preferences/ByHost/

Settings aren't saved : Some users (using MDM management software and/or Homebrew) seem to have run into an issue where macOS Catalina didn't create the folder where Aerial saves its preferences. This is a sandboxing restriction, we recommend that you place your videos in a "less protected" folder such as /Users/Shared/. Custom videos location : In Catalina, while it's possible to add videos that are stored in your user's Documents or Downloads folder, these files will not playback when Aerial is running as a screensaver. You can follow the progress on this in this issue : You can in the meantime either :Īnother solution would be to have a separate updater app, which is something that will hopefully be provided soon.

Technically speaking, you will still be prompted to install new updates, and the updates will look like they install, except the installation will silently fail. The sandboxing restrictions make it impossible, as far as we understand, for a screensaver file to auto-update itself, as Aerial did in the past through Sparkle.In older macOS versions, it can be hosted either by System Preferences (for the control panel) or "ScreenSaverEngine.app".
In Catalina, Aerial (like all third party screensavers) is hosted by "legacyScreenSaver.appex". If you want to use "Color icons", you will need to setup this additional rule: You may need to explicitely create the following rule to get it working:
Weather : Aerial uses Yahoo Weather's API, and requires access to it. For Catalina, you'll need to create the following rule : 
You may need to explicitely allow access to "". The feed is hosted in this github repository, but access is usually denied.
Updates/auto-updates : Aerial does periodically check for new versions using Sparkle. Usually, downloading videos will be ok with default settings but you may see issues with : Are you using Little Snitch or another firewall ? Aerial requires network access for it to work, and default Little Snitch settings may impair some or all of it's features.
