Hi
The Android install worked like a dream, but I had a lot of trouble with this on my macbook pro 2018, running mojave. So apologies for sharing a partial answer (i.e. what I can recall) , but here goes.
So my problems started with a wring button trackpad on the playmemories install, menaing I somehow got a bad install, but that wasn' the only problem.
Anyway, as a result I had a partial installation, but when I tried to connect camera under the wifi auto import, I was refused.
So how did I fix it? Well, it took a few hours to figure out the problems and make a few mistakes, but here's what I learned. NB Where I have marker * below, I did stuff that is, I believe, required, but not easy for the novice. Be careful if you don't know what's going on as there are powerful commands and some security risks are being introduced. Comments welcome on everything, but any tighter security strategy in particular.
Step 1 Clean uninstall
==================
The first part of the solution was a clean uninstall of playmemories and wifi auto import. This was harder than it sounds due to launchagents and kernel extensions. I didn't record exactly what I had, but this is what I now have a clean uninstall will remove the "sony" files and the playmemories and wifi autoimport.
Here's a bit of what I got up to in terminal.
admins-MBP:~ peter$ kextstat | grep -v com.apple

Here's some notes on how to remove kernel extensions
https://www.maketecheasier.com/add-remove-kexts-from-macos/
admins-MBP:~ peter$ cd /Library/LaunchAgents/
admins-MBP:LaunchAgents peter$ ls
com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist com.google.keystone.agent.plist com.sony.WirelessAutoImportLauncher.agent.plist
com.adobe.GC.AGM.plist com.microsoft.update.agent.plist net.pulsesecure.pulsetray.plist
com.adobe.GC.Invoker-1.0.plist com.sony.SonyAutoLauncher.agent.plist org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist
Again I used rm to remove the sony files (you'll ned to relaunch).
If the above looks scary and unfamiliar to you, proceed with caution.
Be careful sudo is the most dangerous thing you can type in your mac.*
step 2 reinstall
===========================
I re downloaded the playmemories suite and followed the instructions.
The main thing is to go to security settings after and unblock the sony kernel extension, that should be highlighted (and then restart). {This was part of my original, problem, I couldn;t seem to get the mac to recognise this need after my bad install).
Seemed to work this time.
You might want to see step 4 below. I.e. it might make sense to create and specify the folder you want to use at this stage (and perhaps its world read/write access)*
Next run the wireless auto import.
I had to connect my mac to the camera via USB to pick up the right details
Step 3
======
In the full spirit of murphy's law my camera and mac connected to different wifi networks in my house, so initially I saw
"wireless auto import Connected to the access point. Cannot connect to the computer to be saved"
Doh!
Hopefully you have a simpler set up.
Step 4
=====
Next I got the importer running by selecting the "Send to computer" under my camera's wifi setting. This is pretty cool. I guess the kernel extension is helping but a progress bar appears on the mac. Sadly
"wireless auto import cannot save you do not have sufficient access privileges"
Now you have to make (i) an appropriate folder. eg ~/pictures/rx100_import ; (ii) go into settings; sharing and set the folder to read/write for everyone (I didn't try just staff).*
Phew now it seems to work. There were a few restarts along the way.
Good luck!
