      I use Flic as a slide clicker to "Show next slide" in Keynote for Mac, but it appears as if the current version of Flic for Mac (2.1.0) does not work with the new Keynote 15.1 for Mac which was released in late January. I have no issues with the previous version of Keynote for Mac (14.5).

      Has anyone discovered a workaround for this?

        Hi!

        It seems Apple has released a completely new Keynote app, could you please test the new beta of our macOS app here:

        https://misc-scl-cdn.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Flic-3.0.0.dmg

        Note that this is quite an overhaul of the app so any feedback with the new app is welcome, it's in a pretty early stage.

          Hi,

          We think it's frustrating that Apple renames the app identifier for Keynote, breaking compatibility with all apps triggering Keynote.

          As a workaround, before we have the chance to update the app to use the new identifier, you can setup the Flic button on your phone/tablet with the Flic app there and configure it as a Keyboard with the arrow keys. Then connect the button to your Mac as a standard Bluetooth device (Bluetooth keyboard) instead of to the Flic mac app. This will allow you to control the Keynote.
