I'm trying to open an App that I have had on my computer for a long time working perfectly fine, but ever since I upgraded to Catalina, the App won't open, so I tried to open it from the terminal to see if I could get a message of why it doesn't open and that's the message I got.

32 bit will not run on Catalina .

You can see list of 32/64 bit apps from

Hey guys,

I'm getting this when trying to open an App in Catalina, When I use the GUI it just won't open, but when I use Terminal it gives me that.

I already tried switching my shell to zsh, but that did nothing.

I noticed the App has a file called osx-intel in it and that's exactly what I have, so it doesn't make any sense to get that message when everything seems to be fine.

I don't get it— what are you trying to do and where are you trying to do it?

Are you saying no application opens?

If this is a 32-bit app it is not supported on macOS 10.15.x Update your software is the way forward.
