bridge 2026 will not be compatible with next New Macintosh OS

Is there an element of Bridge 2026 that requires the Inter-converter program (like photodownloader) to run?  I keep getting warnings that elementss of Bridge 2026 will no longer be compatible with a newer version of the M1 macintosh OS.   but it fails to tell me which element.   I KONW PhotoDownloader needed the  Macintosh specific converter to run previous PHotoDownloader.   Can you please shed some light here as to why this error message is warning me?    I’m running a Mac M1 Max OS 26.5.1.  Thanks,

Bob Olary

    Actually according to this Apple KB, the next macOS Golden Gate 27 just announced and available as a beta will have last version fully functional Rosseta and macOS 28 will be where most Intel based applications will not run.

    So from my understanding Adobe has one more macOS release to get ready for that transition.

     

    As far as what specific components of Bridge are triggering that message, someone from Adobe would most likely need to answer that.

     

    On your Mac hold down the Option key while Clicking Apple, then click System Information and go down to Software>Applications and look for anything under Kind that is Intel.
