Why Third-Party Apps Keep Breaking After macOS Updates
If you’ve upgraded your Mac to macOS Sonoma () and noticed that your favorite third-party apps no longer work, you’re not alone. From utilities like Little Snitch to creative tools like QuarkXPress, many apps stop functioning after every major update. The real issue lies in Apple’s relentless pace of system changes combined with developers’ struggle to keep up.
macOS updates often remove old frameworks and break older apps
Apple Silicon requires developers to rebuild apps from the ground up
Security restrictions block kernel extensions and background services
UI customization apps almost always fail after new releases
Both Apple and third-party developers share responsibility
