Adobe Creative Cloud on macOS 10.14.3 installs 32-bit applications
Version of the Creative Cloud app: 4.7.0.400
App area: Adobe Application Manager, Adobe Creative Cloud
Operating system: macOS 10.14.3
Browser version: n/a
Concise problem statement: Adobe Creative Cloud installs 32-bit applications.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In a system without any Adobe products, install Adobe Creative Cloud version 4.7.0.400 via Creative_Cloud_Installer.4.8.0.410.dmg and let the Adobe Creative Cloud perform any updates as needed. Do not install any other Adobe products. Let Adobe Creative Cloud install and finish updating itself.
2. Reboot.
3. Run /Applications/Utilities/System\ Information.app
4. click ((System Report…))
5. In the System Information window, click Applications under Software. Wait until a list of applications show up.
6. Click on the “64-Bit (Intel)” column that is all the way over on the far right. This will let the list of applications sort by “64-bitness”.
7. Scan down the “No” looking for applications by Adobe.
Results:
The following 32-bit applications were installed when Adobe Creative Cloud version 4.7.0.400 was installed on a clean maxOS 10.14.3 (18D42) system:
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/LWA/AAM Registration Notifier.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/P6/AAM Registration Notifier.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/UWA/AAM Updates Notifier.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/AAMLauncherUtil.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/Adobe Application Manager.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/P6/adobe_licutil.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/HDCore/Install.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/DWA/Setup.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/DECore/Setup.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/D6/Setup.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/DECore/DE5/resources/uninstall/Uninstall Product.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/DECore/DE6/resources/uninstall/Uninstall Product.app
- /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud/HDCore/Uninstaller.app
In the not so distant future, the above applications will NOT run on macOS 10.15 based systems as they are not 64-bit (Intel) applications. Please update Adobe Creative Cloud to either remove these 32-bit applications or replace them with 64-bit (Intel) applications.
Expected results:
Installing Adobe Creative Cloud or updating Adobe Creative Cloud should NOT install any 32-bit applications. Any Adobe Creative Cloud 32-bit applications should either be removed or replaced with 64-bit (Intel) applications.
Thank you.
