Oct 21, 2012 I have an iphone 4 on straight talk and want to edit the mms apn settings. I know I can jailbreak and use tetherme to do this. I'm not averse to jailbreaking, I just don't really need/want any other tweaks right now and would like to avoid the $5 for the simple task of editing the mms apn. Oct 08, 2019 Yesterday, Apple released macOS Catalina to everyone and, unlike iOS 13's release, this is one you should upgrade right away.While Catalina isn't a major interface redesign, and much of the new.

In case you’re not yet aware, there are going to be a whole lot of Mac apps that will stop working if you upgrade to macOS Catalina later this year. Now it appears that Apple has actually included a specific list of a whole bunch of them in the betas for its new operating system.
As reported on his blog, The Tape Drive, iOS developer Steve Moser recently discovered a hidden file in the latest macOS Catalina beta called IncompatibleAppsList.bundle that explicitly lists 235 apps that are incompatible with Catalina, along with text describing why they’re incompatible and in some cases offering recommendations.
As Moser notes, the list is designed to be used by the Catalina installation process so that apps with known incompatibilities can be flagged during an upgrade from a previous version of macOS. Many of the apps are actually just older versions that have long since been updated — and in some cases really old versions. For example, 1Password 2.12.2 is on the list, which is a far cry from the currently shipping version, 1Password 7.3.1.
The bundle also includes strings that are intended to advise users of the incompatibility, likely being presented during the upgrade process if any of the offending apps are detected on a user’s system. Many simply say something like ”this version of (app) is not compatible with this version of macOS” while others direct users to a different app. For example, if TextWrangler is detected, macOS will tell the user that it has been “end of lifed” and recommend they update to the company’s replacement app, BBEdit.
Why Is This Happening?
Apple has been working for several years on transitioning entirely to 64-bit apps, since these are not only more efficient for modern Macs, but by eliminating support for 32-bit apps, Apple can also clean up and simplify a lot of the code under the hood in macOS.
The writing has been on the wall for most developers for at least a couple of years, especially after Apple made the first such move with iOS when it dropped support for 32-bit apps in iOS 11 back in 2017. Of course, since it wouldn’t be as obvious to end users, with the release of macOS Mojave last year, Apple began notifying users that their apps would be incompatible with “future versions of macOS” and encouraging them to update their apps or seek replacements.
What Should I Do About It?
We provided some instructions and advice last month for how to find out if your apps will still work in macOS Catalina, which offers a way to ferret out every app that’s already on your system that won’t be compatible with the new operating system.

In addition, Moser has also helpfully shared the IncompatibleAppsList file on GIST, and while it’s in its original PLIST format, you can still open it in a text editor and scan or search through it to see if any of your favourite apps are on the list.
In either case, if you discover an app that’s not going to be compatible with macOS Catalina, you’ll basically have three options:
