X-VPN Finally Fixes Annoying macOS Warning for M-Series Macs With Native Apple Silicon Update
Published
Key Takeaways
- X-VPN macOS 78.0 Update: Adds native Apple silicon support, removing Rosetta dependency and compatibility warnings on M-series Macs.
- Who Is Affected: M-series Mac users should install version 78.0; Intel Mac users continue using the existing version.
- Official Confirmation: X-VPN verified the update and advised users to report persistent Rosetta warnings through live chat.
X-VPN has released version 78.0 for macOS, introducing native support for Apple's M-series processors. The update removes the app's reliance on Rosetta translation on Apple silicon Macs, addressing compatibility warnings that some users recently began seeing. The change was announced by the X-VPN team through its official X account, making it a verified company update.
The release primarily affects users with M1, M2, M3, and newer Apple silicon Macs. Intel Mac users are not impacted and should continue using the Intel-compatible version of the app.
Native Apple Silicon Support Replaces Rosetta Dependency
Previous versions of X-VPN for macOS were built for Intel-based Macs. When installed on Macs powered by Apple's M-series chips, the operating system relied on Rosetta, Apple's translation technology that allows software designed for Intel processors to run on Apple silicon.
According to X-VPN, Apple has been gradually moving away from long-term Rosetta support for Intel applications. As a result, some M-series Mac users started receiving warnings that the existing version of X-VPN might not work with a future macOS release. Version 78.0 resolves that issue by running natively on Apple silicon instead of depending on Rosetta.
After installing the latest version, affected users should no longer see the Rosetta compatibility warning.
What Mac Users Need to Do
X-VPN recommends that M-series Mac owners download and install macOS version 78.0 from the official X-VPN website to receive the native Apple silicon build.
Users with Intel-based Macs should continue using the Intel-compatible version. The company said a separate download option specifically for Intel Macs will be added to its website.
If the Rosetta warning still appears after updating, X-VPN advises users to report the issue by leaving a comment on its announcement or contacting support through the app's live chat.
Why This Matters for VPN and Privacy Users
For VPN users, native support on Apple silicon helps ensure that X-VPN remains compatible with future macOS releases as Apple continues reducing support for Intel-only applications. It also removes the dependency on Rosetta for M-series Macs, eliminating compatibility warnings and helping users avoid potential issues with future operating system updates.
If you use X-VPN on an M-series Mac, updating to version 78.0 is recommended. Intel Mac users do not need to take any action beyond continuing to use the Intel-compatible release until the dedicated download option becomes available.
