Apple is phasing out support for Intel-based apps on modern Apple Silicon Macs.

To whom it may concern,

I am getting warnings on my Mac about support for Intel-based apps on Apple Silicon Macs.  Globus Connect Personal is listed as an Intel-based app on my Mac.  See below for details.

Apple is completely ending support for Intel-based apps in an upcoming macOS release (expected to be macOS 28).

Is there a plan to generate a build of Globus Connect Personal for Apple Silicon Macs?

Hi John,

Thanks for bringing this up!  Yes, the team is aware of this, and we will release a full Apple Silicon version soon - please keep an eye on announcements and new versions.

With the macOS 27 Beta release this week, we immediately got an end user asking about this, because macOS notified them about Globus Connect Personal needing to be updated for Apple Silicon support.  I guess Globus Connect Personal is used in a lot more places here than I thought!

One other thing that I love is the ticket didn't come in to us, it came in to the Libraries' tech-support folks.  The person who got the ticket did some research of their own, but got confused about the GCP release notes mentioning Apple Silicon support "for Transfer".

So, this week I've done a Globus@Stanford news post, so that our tech-support folks have a place to send users asking about this.  Hopefully it'll be helpful to others!  The post is up at https://globus.stanford.edu/2026/06/11/gcp-macos-permissions.html
