Upgrade to macOS 27 Golden Gate?

Martin Jan Rosa — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 07:25:28 GMT

macOS 27 Golden Gate is here, and like every year, it's time to dig around and find out how Archicad runs on it. So far, the only thing I've found is an post from August that says pretty much nothing about Archicad 29.

I know the universal answer is "don't upgrade." Still, I can't resist asking: what's the current status of Archicad compatibility with macOS 27 Golden Gate?

Hi,

Works fine. So far no problems. Teamwork works fine too.

I worked up the courage too and installed macOS 27. So far, the only problem I've run into is with an older library of my own (an LCF created roughly in Archicad 25–27): Archicad 29 reports it as incompatible, even though it worked fine on the previous macOS. However, I also have a newer .lcf and .libpack from Archicad 28, and those work without any issues.

Remember when they moved the ArchiCAD version releases to the fall from the summer months so it could be ready for the new OS upgrades? Whatever happened to that? Now it's still a loooong process until they formally bless it. I don't know of any other major software that takes as long to be compatible as ArchiCAD. No one from Graphisoft has even posted anything since a months and half ago... before macOS27's release.

Graphisoft, if you're even monitoring these boards... what is the current timeline for expected compatibility?

Not sure how much they monitor it but you could mention them via "@"
So it would be great if someone from @GRAPHISOFT could give official statement/create article about compability with new macOS 27 Golden Gate.
