Question

Lightroom Classic on future macOS notification

Hello,

I’m using a Mac with Apple Silicon (M2 Max) and have just gotten a macOS notification that Lightroom Classic will not run on the major macOS version (v27) since it is... an Intel-based app?!

However, in LRC’s system information dialog, I see “Application architecture: arm64” so now I’m confused. Is Lightroom Classic a native Apple Silicon app at this point, or not?

 

I have complete uninstalled and reinstalled the software a bunch of times over the years for troubleshooting so I would have expected that I’m using the correct version for my platform architecture.

Thanks for shedding any light on this.

Alex.

    These warnings from Mac OS can be very confusing and some are surely spurious. You can be sure that Adobe will release a competely Intel-free version for Apple Silicon long before Mac OS 27.
