Erroneous future macOS compatibility errors

Hello,

We have received reports from a few of our customers that they received a notification from macOS that our app 24 Hour Wallpaper would not be compatible with future macOS versions.

As I understand it from public documentation, this alert shows if an app or any of its components are still using Intel x86 code. However our app has supported Apple Silicon from day one and has no intel-only components.

I confirmed that the customers had not elected to run the app using Rosetta accidentally, and that they were running current versions that support Apple Silicon.

Beyond what is already written here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527

Can anyone be very specific about what actually triggers this alert? Are there known instances of the alert showing erroneously?

Thank you,

-josh

Right. The cases of this that I’ve seen have all been related to that issue, where the system attributes a plug-in using Rosetta to the app itself. If you see this in the 26.6 beta, please let us know.
