Mac OS message of “This version of “Creative Cloud” includes a component that wi not work with a future release of macOS.” What are the options for an update to an Apple silicon version. How do I download adobe acrobat and firefly

For more details, here’s the path to the Intel-based component macOS flagged on my Mac. This was a new Mac purchased in Aug 2026 with a fresh Creative Cloud install, not a migration:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/DEBox/Setup.app

File info:

And its Info.plist:

Interesting… I do have this thing installed but it’s not listed in the Intel-based app list.

C’mon, Adobe…I hope you’re on this. You’ve got about nine months before the macOS 28 dev betas roll out. Clock’s ticking. ;)

Support Ending for Intel-based Apps showing Creative Cloud.app.

Be sure to turn off automatic updates before CC 2027 is released, probably this Autumn.

I started with Mac OS 6 and have had to buy new computers so many times that I’ve lost count. I can’t imagine using an SE30 in today’s world, or even an Intel Mac.

I think you may have misread the warning. It's not about running macOS on an Intel Mac. The warning is saying Creative Cloud itself still contains an Intel-based component that won't work in macOS 28.

My Mac is already Apple silicon. I upgraded when the M1 Pro came out. Best upgrade ever! :)
