Is Big Sur capable of supporting 32-bit applications. Is Big Sur capable of supporting 32-bit applications? I use a 32-bit app as a workhorse for my paperwork. I paid for the stand-alone application years ago. The 64- bit version is now only available on a monthly subscription basis, so I have not upgraded my Mac’s OS so I can keep running the 32-bit application. I am hoping Apple will make an upgrade that will run for 32-and 64-bit apps again.
