#GAMES FOR MAC 10.3 UPDATE#

In part because of Apple's total control of its hardware, operating system, and app distribution platform, iOS' transition from 32-bit software to 64-bit software has been uncommonly smooth and quick.

#GAMES FOR MAC 10.3 UPDATE#

Apple has required 64-bit support for all new app submissions since February of 2015 and all app update submissions since June 2015, so any apps that are still throwing this error haven't been touched by their developer in at least a year and a half (developers could add 64-bit support as early as 2013, but most of them opted not to until it became a requirement). Similar messages that did explicitly mention 64-bit support were present in the betas of iOS 10.0, but they were removed in the final release of the software. Though the error message doesn't explicitly mention the app's 32-bit or 64-bit support, it's definitely only older 32-bit apps that trigger the warning. The apps still run in iOS 10.3, but it seems likely that iOS 11 will drop support for them entirely.

The message, originally discovered by PSPDFKit CEO and app developer Peter Steinberger, warns that the apps 'will not work with future versions of iOS' and that the app must be updated by its developer in order to continue running.
