Apple started making this transition in OS X 10.5, which came out in late 2007. The 32-bit-only Carbon APIs have been deprecated since 10.8 (2012). It's not like this snuck up on developers; the writing was on the wall by the end of the last decade. I'm not unsympathetic -- I have some 32-bit programs lurking around, including Dramatica Story Expert, an expensive one that's still theoretically being updated. But if that program stops working, I'm inclined to blame the developers, not Apple. Apple isn't forcing them to put out an app that feels like something from 20 years ago, or to consistently wait until beyond the last minute to update for system transitions that they've had literally years of warning about. (In Dramatica's case, they didn't even transition to Carbon until the classic environment went away, and didn't transition to Intel code instead of PowerPC code until Rosetta went away.) |
