Deprecated APIs (MAC004 / MAC104)
AdminStudio 2022 | 23.0 | Application Manager
For this operating system compatibility test, the macOS application’s .plist file is scanned for references to deprecated functions.
Apple publishes a list of deprecated and removed frameworks for each major OS update. The highest priority would be finding applications that rely on a “removed” framework. In OS X, when an API is deprecated, a warning is generated to inform the developer that the API will be removed in a future update, but the application will generally still work in the current OS X release. Applications that use deprecated frameworks should be identified so that you can look for an update from the application’s developer in the near future.
