Apple to Mac developers: It

Macworld When Apple introduced its M-series chips, it also marked the beginning of the end for software written for Intel Macs. Its been nearly six years since then, and Apple has let developers know that they can bring Intel Mac development to a close. In an email to developers, Apple said: Were reaching out to let you know that universal macOS apps on the Mac App Store that require macOS 13 or later can now remove support for Intel-based Mac computers. By removing support for Intel-based Mac computers, you can simplify your development and optimize your download and on-device size. When Apple announced macOS 26 Tahoe last year, the company said it would be the last version to support Intel Macs. This new announcement takes another step toward dropping Intel altogether. A new Apple support document adds this vital bit of information: macOS27: Final release to support Rosetta Intel-only apps will no longer run on Mac computers with Apple silicon after this update. Now its up to developers to determine when to stop with Intel code. App designers will need to determine how many of their users still use Intel Macs before they can drop development, which means that some will need to continue to support Intel for a while. If you use an Intel app, reach out to the app developer to find out their plans.
