There are diagnostic messages warning of the deprecation of 32-bit apps, and these messages will be displayed starting on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 up to macOS Catalina 10.15, and macOS Catalina 10.15 and later macOS will not run 32-bit apps.


What is the complete text of the messages being displayed?


From the Apple menu in the upper left, and About This Mac, which version of macOS are you running?


If you’re not being permitted to run a 32-bit app, you’re on Catalina.


Or if you’re on an earlier macOS version, there’s something wrong with the app or with the environment.
