32bit macOS Support

I have a 32bit macOS application that I still need to support on versions of macOS prior to Catalina. Does the latest version of TurboActivate still support the 32 bit or do I need to stay on the old release?

TurboActivate, TurboFloat, TFS, etc., all support macOS 10.9 and newer.

Every mac for the last 15 or 16 years support 64-bit. And thus we only support 64-bit for our targets for macOS.

Sorry Wyatt but I'm a bit confused. I've been using TurboActivate with my 32bit application (built using Firemonkey C++) for about 4 years now using the provided dylib. I think it supported both 32 and 64 bit linkage. I saw in the release notes for 4.1.3 that you now are only doing 64 bit builds. What I want to know is will the new dylib dynamically link with my 32 bit application?

No. Target your macOS deployment for 64-bit.

Apple dropped support for signing apps that contain 32-bit binaries so we no longer build them. Plus, it's a hassle to build them (we have to hack together build environments).

Thanks the info, I'll just have to stay on the old version. To my dismay Embarcadero has yet to update the C++ tool chain to 64 bit on macOS (can only build 32 bit). They seem unwilling or unable to update to 64 bit so I'm not able to support Catalina at present; but I still have users on older versions of macOS that need updates. Thanks anyway.
