Last year, Apple announced that macOS 10.14 would be the last desktop operating system to support 32-bit apps. The Coopertinos also urged developers to start the process of reworking their programs. This year, Apple kept its promise that macOS Catalina does not support 32-bit programs. However, not all applications have 64-bit versions now.
It’s easy enough to check which apps won’t work on macOS Catalina. To do this, you need:
After that, all Mac apps will appear on the right side of the window. If they wish, users can filter them down by clicking on the corresponding graph.
Over the past year, many large companies have prepared to stop supporting 32-bit programs. However, today there are many old applications and games that have not been updated by developers for a long time.
Ahead of the release of the final version of macOS 10.15, some publishers even started pushing developers to take action. For example, today it became known that Aspyr plans to stop selling 32-bit games for Mac. At the same time, users who previously purchased old projects in the publisher’s store, will be able to continue to play them. However, for this they will have not to update their “mac” until macOS 10.15.
