From macOS 28, Rosetta 2 won’t be available. It is a software to launch applications written for computers with Intel processors. Most applications on macOS are already written for Apple Silicon, and everyone should have native apps for AS installed on the computer. How to quickly find all Intel applications on our computer? We will use a simple command in the terminal:
system_profiler -json SPApplicationsDataType | jq '.SPApplicationsDataType[] | select(.arch_kind == "arch_i64")'
This command will show us every Intel application installed on our computer with the path where this app is in the system. In this simple way, you can prepare for the incoming ending support for Rosetta.
