Canon cameras on macOS Mojave

There was a report today from a user that their Canon EOS 1100D does not work on macOS Mojave. This does not appear to be an MLA issue as the Canon Utility software and tethering through the Image Capture application do not work on macOS Mojave either. In testing, a Canon 5D Mkii did work during macOS Mojave beta testing.
This is just a warning that if you decide you need to upgrade to macOS Mojave, camera control may not work until Apple or Canon resolve the issue if your camera is affected. If you have already upgraded to macOS Mojave, test your camera as soon as you can so you do not find yourself in a documentation session with a camera that may not work.
