How can we update Plug-Ins to Universal Binaries in MacOS?

A universal plug-in runs natively on any Mac computer. If your app supports a plug-in model, create universal versions of the plug-ins that you manage. If your company allows external developers to contribute plug-ins, encourage those developers to create universal versions of their plug-ins.

Universal plug-ins are essential if your app loads those plug-ins directly into its process space. Code running in the same process must support the same architecture. If your app attempts to load a plug-in with an incompatible architecture, the system reports an error at load time.

An illustration of an XPC service managing a plug-in for an app.

Plug-ins that run out-of-process using an XPC service may run using a different architecture than the app itself. To give your developers time to update their plug-ins, provide two non-universal XPC services—one to run arm64 plug-ins and one to run x86_64 plug-ins. A single XPC service can manage either native or translated plug-ins, but not both at the same time. When creating the services, give each one a unique bundle identifier so they may run simultaneously.
