My App Was Nabbed by the Rosetta 2 Police

Apple has begun showing notifications at you if you run pre-Universal apps at your house. The notification advises you that the app depends on Rosetta 2 in order to run on your Apple silicon Mac and Apple will be phasing Rosetta 2 into oblivion next year. So now you know that app may not work in a year or so.

Got a notification on one of my own internal production scripts which made me laugh. I've been trying to get the notification again, but thank goodness it doesn't show everytime I use the app.

You might see this notification if you run old (5 years plus) versions of scripts from this site. Most all have been updated to Universal, so you should find out if there's an update. If not, let me know.
