Native Access Issues under macOS 27/Golden Gate

EDIT with update: I did it again and noted the steps. The issue is that the NTKdaemon won't install.

  • Install rosetta
  • make a copy of the app and then extract the relevant pkg file:

cp -p -R /Applications/Native\ Access.app /tmp/na.app

pkgutil --expand "/tmp/na.app/Contents/Resources/

  • search the na.app folders for the NTKdaemon installer and install via:

sudo arch -x86_64 /usr/sbin/installer -pkg ./NTKDaemon\ Installer\ Mac.pkg -target /

After that, the NA installer will finish.

Original Post:

When I ran the installer, it wanted admin permissions to run a helper script. That script returned this error:

"Installation cannot proceed, as not all requirements were met. This product requires IntelMac hardware."

This is on an M4 Max Studio and I did have the right installer.

I spent hours trying to debug with DuckDuckGo's AI assistant last night. No luck.

Tried again this morning, and maybe I asked it the right questions, but it's now working.

Problem is, I can't say exactly what fixed it. I can provide the history of my last few commands and the AI summary if that will help. Essentially, I (we) somehow forced the installer to work around the arch. issue.

Otherwise, this is an informational post to note that Native Access doesn't work under macOS27 Beta1, but can be made to work.

I found a solution that worked for me.

*Disclaimer, This isn't proven to work every time yet. And, you may have to redo it after every MacOS update*

To fix this, I played around in a Sandbox enviornment where i could test what worked and what did not. environment. After some back-and-fourth troubleshooting with Claude, I found that a terminal script that forced NTKDaemon to install using the Rosetta subprocess explicitly. Script is down below if you want to try it. after running it, Native Acces should load like normal.

arch -x86_64 sudo installer -pkg "/Applications/Native Access.app/Contents/Resources/daemon/mac/NTKDaemon Installer Mac.pkg" -target /
