Ask HN: Automated way to see which apps will break on Catalina 64-bit? 1 points by arikr 6y ago ↗ HN Is there an automated way to see which of my apps, printer software etc will break when I upgrade to 64 bit macOS Catalina?
[–] benologist 6y ago ↗ You can check (opened) software in Activity Monitor under CPU, there's an optional column "Kind" to show if it is 64 bit or not.
[–] Someone 6y ago ↗ About this Mac…/System Report…/File/Save… writes a XML file with file extension .spx.Then, write something to grab the “arch_kind” values from it. 32-bit apps have “arch_i32” there (“arch_i32_i64” is fine, I think)
