Apple’s mission to eliminate 32-bit apps is no longer focused solely on iOS. The company told developers this week that its upcoming High Sierra update will be the last macOS release to support 32-bit titles “without compromise.”

Apple has been using 64-bit chips in iOS devices since the iPhone 5s, and in its notebooks and desktops for even longer. By taking advantage of the updated architecture, developers can deliver smoother software, and make use of more than 4GB of RAM.

But believe it or not, 32-bit software is still around, and Apple wants to change that.

“New apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit starting January 2018, and Mac app updates and existing apps must support 64-bit starting June 2018,” the company says in an update on its Developer Center this week.

Mojave supports 32 bit apps. Catalina does not.

Everyone should be working on getting rid of their 32bit apps and finding replacements. The world moves on...

There are no replacements for most of my 32 bit apps.

DragThing isn't being updated. It's heartbreaking.

Yea, but I'm stuck using Excel for work and although I could use 2019, I find it effing horrible compared to 2011 (and the document we use with macros works better in 2011 anyway).

Ditto. I have a few that don't have replacements so I won't be updating past Mojave (if I ever get there!).

I will eventually buy a SoC Mac, so I'll probably keep my old Macbook around for those programs.

I have no plans to pay subscription fees to Adobe when I have CS6 that does everything I need. So I'll stay on Mojave

That's where I'm at. When Mojava is no longer supported, I'm not sure what I'll do.

Look at the Affinity apps and Pixelmator.
