Apple Flags Intel Apps Losing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 as Golden Gate Expands Warnings
3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Jun 12
Summary
macOS Golden Gate adds a Settings list that shows which Intel-based apps will stop working when Rosetta 2 support ends for most apps in macOS 28.
Golden Gate also warns users every time they restart or open an Intel app, extending alerts Apple began introducing in macOS Tahoe.
Rosetta no longer installs automatically in Golden Gate, and authentication plugins plus other pre-login utilities that depend on it already fail to load.
Apple is retiring the translation layer as its Intel transition winds down: Tahoe was the last macOS for Intel Macs, while Golden Gate requires Apple silicon.
