Up date from what(?) is the key point missing here....





Update your software if not compatible.

If in doubt refer to the developers website, search: Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility/updates

Game Support | Geometry Dash Forum



We know with the release of macOS 10.15 Catalina, applications will have to be 64-bit. App developers will issue updated apps if they want their apps to work on this newest macOS upgrade


32-bit app compatibility with macOS... - Apple Support

32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support



On the M1 applications have to be Universal or Rosetta2 should launch to translate Intel apps

If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support
