16-inch Macbook Pro
10.15.1 tethered capture with Canon 5DMK4 bodies worked fine with C1Pro 20 and 12 as well as Canon EOS Utility.
After 10.15.2 update EOS utility just hangs and crashes and C1Pro cannot access cameras for tethered shooting. Tested and confirmed broke with Canon and Fuji bodies.
uninstalled/reinstalled C1pro and EOS utility.
MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15
After about 2 hours at phone with Apple Support Italy here the results:
We have created a new Administator Account on my MacBook Pro and magically everything returns to life, tether my A7rIII works with every app installed (Sony Remote, C1Pro 20, Lightroom 9.1, Darktable). So Apple Support tell me that maybe there's something wrong with permission in my account.
So we turn back to my account and tried to reset permission with this procedure:

then I restarted my Macbook.
C1Pro 20 and Darktable finally see my Sony and now I can work again
The only one app that doesn't work yet is Sony Remote, but this is another mistery.
FWIW, Apple does not announce point release dates.
It looks like 10.15.3 was released today.

Does anyone know if it has fixed the tethered capture issue. It is not listed as a fix in the link above.
Thanks

32-Bit Only App Compatibility is the Issue:
The issue is that this program is 32-bit only. It is incompatible with 64-bit-only operating systems (10.14 and thereafter). Learn More at this Site: EOS Utility 3.8.20 for Mac OS X - Canon Support. It reads, compatibility:
At this Point, Either...
If this were, me I would: just create a New Partition for High Sierra, or use it on my older Mac. Installing it from...
This is not a 32bit app compatibility issue.
First, EOS Utility and tethering in other apps worked in Catalina 10.15.1 that was already 64bit only, and second, it's not an EOS Utility problem because in Wi-Fi mode it's working (very slowly, but it works...), and the problem is the same in Lightroom or CaptureOne, with Canon, Sony, Fuji and other cameras, with no EOS Utility or special drivers needed to work in these apps...
This is only a macOS native driver problem, and hope that Apple will quickly solve this problem.
Not ideal, but Canon Utility works over wi-fi with my Canon 5D IV. It is very slow, but at least I can tether at the start of a headshot session to dial in my settings, then just shoot to card after that.
Hope that helps some.

Indeed, it works with wifi and it is very very slow !
I hope nevertheless that Apple will repair the problem....
Apple has not cared about professionals for a long time.
I am not surprised at how slow it is to fix a problem like this.
They prefer to sell earpods !!!!!!!!!!
It confirms that the problem was not from Canon, Adobe, Sony... or a 32bit problem.
Tethering capture works now with the update, and zero word from Apple... 😕
With the high price that we pay for « the best computers in the world », it’s just unacceptable !
I can also confirm on my Canon EOS 100D it now works again. Amateur, compared to most of the professionals in this discussion.
I have to say, sadly, I did not expect any word from Apple: that would have been admitting how big they’re scr**ing things up lately.
Backing up now, making sure I have a time machine recovery point to go back to, should something similar happen again.
10.15.2 has broken tethered capture
