The warnings for users about 32-bit macOS apps are now live... and CrossOver is affected

Users running CrossOver (or any other affected app) for the first time will get a dialog directing them to an Apple Support article. Hopefully this will be addressed in the future... or I, along with other Mac users, will eventually be unable to use CrossOver.

Further reading on the provided link reveals that such a transition is not even close to complete.

Can I keep using my 32-bit apps?
Yes, you may continue to use 32-bit apps with your Mac today. Using
32-bit software has no adverse effects on your data or your
computer.

When will the 64-bit transition be complete?
The 64-bit transition for macOS and macOS apps is still underway, so
final transition dates have not yet been established. But now is a
good time to check with the software developer to see if 64-bit
versions of your favorite titles are available.

Hello Eric,

Yes, we are aware of the coming change and are working on a solution. We plan to have it in place so our customers see no disruption in function and are confident that we will have a fix before Apple ships a version of macOS that doesn't support 32 bit CrossOver.

Thanks for writing in,
