Apple today published an official document on its website that explains to users how to transfer libraries of files from the popular program Aperture. The reason is simple – macOS Mojave will be the last Apple operating system that will officially support Aperture.

Apple announced the end of the development of the very popular photo editor Aperture already in 2014, a year for it was an application removed from the App Store. Since then, the application has received a few more updates, but these were more news focused on compatibility. So it was only a matter of time before support for Aperture was completely discontinued, and it looks like the end is very close. Apple published on its website dokument on how users can transfer their existing Aperture libraries to either the system Photos app or Adobe Lightroom Classic.

You can read detailed instructions with precisely described steps (in English). <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>. Apple is letting users know ahead of time, but if you're still using Aperture, prepare for the end. According to the document, support for Aperture will end with a new major version of macOS. The current version of macOS Mojave will thus be the last on which Aperture can be run.

The upcoming major update, which Apple will present at WWDC in June, will no longer install or run Aperture, regardless of the source of the installation media. The main culprit is that Aperture does not run on a 64-bit instruction set, which will be mandatory for all applications starting with the upcoming version of macOS.
