That is fixed in the upcoming release of BigSur in case you didn’t know. So once this new Big Sur update comes out little snitch will be able to block all processes

Apple Seeds Second Release Candidate Version of macOS Big Sur 11.2 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I’ll be honest, on my 2015 late iMac it runs terribly. I did a clean install and very little installed and running but it takes about 5 mins to boot and be usable. It gets to the UI quick enough but once I’ve started logging in it’s another 4 mins before things will respond properly.
Tried stopping everything from loading at start up, no difference.
It could just be my Mac but Catalina didn’t have these issues. I keep debating about downgrading but it took me a few days to sort everything and keep praying the next update will sort it.
In addition applications take forever to load. It just gets stuck on verifying the application everytime.
Am I really the only one who don't have any problem with MBP M1? I have not noticed any problem mentioned in this thread.
upd.
BTW I have macOS 11.1 installed.

What are you using for storage?
A 1TB (7200-rpm) hard drive, 1TB Fusion Drive, 2TB Fusion Drive, or 256/512/1024 SSD?
Note the 1 TB Fusion paired with only a 32 GB SSD compared to the the 2TB Fusion Drive is paired with 128 GB SSD.
Surprised and disappointed with Big Sur so far. Encouraged by the 11.0.1 initial release number (it's fixed, right?), I upgraded my Catalina machine, got kernel panics and had to start from scratch (suggested by Apple geniuses). That never happened before, been using macOS since Tiger... since I had to reinstall I decided to go back to Mojave, got my Dashboard and 32-bit support back and not missing much actually (definitely not the "shady" icons).
I don't remember a second release candidate from Apple, it shows internal struggle, more than the rapid progression to 11.2 (so far). The thing wasn't fully baked when released, and they're still rushing it. I'm confident they'll figure it out, but it's better to wait this one out.

As a tester I haven't seen Big Sur 11.2 beta cycle really any different, except for the long pause between Dec 16th and January 13th releases. So only had 2 beta, and 2 RC releases.
It's also a rough time for everyone, efficiency- and communications-wise. I'd cut them some slack.
The most recent betas fixed the only real issues I had been having, which was bluetooth misbehaving with my Apple AirPods, and my Wacom tablet. I would get random disconnects so often that it made using these bluetooth peripherals basically not worth it. The betas fixed this, and as of the most current 11.2 they are working perfectly. I never had any other issues with my M1.
Okay, I know there are bigger Big Sur bugs to squash, but how is this weird UI bug still appearing in a .2 release?...

I hope it fixes drag and drop pictures from Safari to Messages. Or just sending pictures from within Messages via txt. I get app. freezes that developed in the last two weeks.
I bit the bullet and upgraded. Heh.
Everything looks great on my iMac so far. One thing of note is the firmware version is still stuck on 170.0.0.0 as it has been for the past few years. This is a known issue on 2015 iMac 17,1 units; it's just surprising that this STILL isn't fixed; 170.0.0.0 was current back in the Mojave days.

Ahh well, as long as the machine works correctly I suppose all is well.

Firmware updates and the iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2015 (iMac17,1)
What is wrong with this iMac, which has such a struggle updating its firmware? And why is Apple not acknowledging the problem?

Just had my mouse disconnect after waking from sleep (on RC2). I'll have to see if I continue getting disconnects. It is very frustrating.
Is it stable enough yet, or shall we wait until end of year? Currently on Mojave and Catalina seems to be loathed by all the mac community.
Has the browser scrolling problem been fixed in this release (appears to lag / stutter slightly)?
Still haven't upgraded from Sierra.
I'm sure speed-wise, it competitive with 10.15, 11.
I'd troubleshoot this by:
1. Clean install Big Sur.
2. Try different WiFi routers. Take it to Starbucks and then try a friends WiFi. See if there is some issue with a specific device.
3. Call Apple and see if they can do remote diagnostics.
Yes I know, thanks.
The fact that during the creation of a major new OS release multiple layers of Apple management where convinced this Apple app exclusion ‘feature’ was a good idea to implement in terms of security and privacy makes me wonder how strong their ability and conviction in those areas really is.

How about fixing the bug where Spotlight can’t find a damn thing!
Magic mouse, Apple trackpad and Logitech k780 BT device disconnects, occasional mouse lag and issues waking M1 Mini from sleep from connected BT devices seem to have been addressed. No issue with 11.2 RC1, just installed RC2 to try (wifi 6 mesh, no BT streaming audio devices).
Their primary focus is selling hardware, software is what they sell along with. They have been great at both through time, but so long as people buy the hardware, they are fine taking months to fix issues with their flagship machines, often into the next year by the time the next major release is scheduled. And a sample of people here on this forum find that acceptable. I would say most in the world are okay with it, going by the sales numbers and Apple's refusal to get around this habit.
