Mac Warning

LayOut
1

Should I be worried about this message that has just popped up on my computer?

05

2

what shows up if hitting ā€œLearn Moreā€¦ā€?

3

What version of LayOut were you using?

4

an early warning concerning the withdrawal of the OpenGL/OpenCL support for the next major macOS release?

5

Current - 2019.

6

which is 64-bit.

7

I wonder how far in the future they are referring to.

8

No, itā€™s all to do with future versions of Mac OS being 64 bit. I get the same message with Acrobat Pro.

I presume it does not affect anything now but is forewarning me that if I update my OS later this year, some software will stop working if it hasnā€™t been upgraded to suit.

9

What MacOS version are you running? Itā€™s been 64-bit for awhile.

10

golden rule, donā€™t upgrade to the initial major release of everythingā€¦ :yum:

11

In which case, why the warning? It says it will keep telling me this every month.

12

Mojave.

13

It is a rule I follow. I have only recently upgraded to Mojave some 6 months after release for just that reason.

Well, you shouldnā€™t be getting that message with LO2019 and Mojave. @trent, any ideas?

15

That warning is supposed to flag an app that is 32-bit, which is certainly not the case with LayOut 2019. Iā€™m not getting the warning with macOS 10.14.3 Mojave on my Mac, which suggests it is something specific to your installation. I recall reports in the past of cases in which macOS mis-tagged an app as being PowerPC architecture, so maybe something similar has happened here. Iā€™d try deleting and then reinstalling SketchUp and see if that fixes the issue.

HowTo: 32-bit or 64-bit Application?

  1. Apple Menu
  2. About This Mac
  3. System Reportā€¦
  4. Software
  5. Applications
  6. rightmost Column: 64-bit (Intel)

I presume the top one is SU 2019 but I donā€™t know whether that is also Layout.

18

That is just SketchUp. Look also up earlier in the listing:

Could by the new notarization obligation required for applications distributed outside the Mac App Store probably effective with one of the next macOS 10.14 maintenance updates?

20

open Terminal.app >> type the word ā€˜openā€™ >> drag ā€˜LayOut.appā€™ into terminal window >> hit returnā€¦

this resets the wrongly associated startup plist and the message shouldnā€™t re-appearā€¦

you could also try it on Acrobat.appā€¦
