Garmin Express cannot be installed on macOS 27 Golden Gate

As per screenshot, the Garmin Express installer does not work on macOS 27 with Apple silicon hardware. The installer appears to contain a hard check for intel based hardware, which Apple has not shipped in over 6 years.

  • This was flagged as Spam. It is not. It's what was returned to me.

  • Can we get you a job with Garmin??

  • Having the exact same issue. Can't download the Connect App anymore.

  • I’m switching to Wahoo, because this is ridiculous – has Garmin turned into a rubbish company? They’re completely unresponsive to their customers, and the software is the same as what was standard 10 years ago; all they care about is making sales…

  • Do you mean Garmin Express, which runs on a computer?  Im unaware of issues installingbthe connect app(on a mobile device)

  • Installed rosetta.  Express opens, seeing watch and synching.  but clicking on any of the access items below (Music, Apps, Tools...) no longer works.

     

  • Garmin Express 7.29.3.0 has been released (Sept 29-30 2026. Depending on your timezone). This is still an Intel binary. This release does not appear to contain the installer Intel CPU check. The update process initiated from an already-installed Garmin Express on Apple Silicon works fine. 

    At the time of typing this Garmin Express 7.29.2.0 is still the current version on the Garmin website for manual download/install (this version still contains the Intel CPU check). 

  • Saw the email notification for your post, opened Garmin Express and got the update installed. I'm running MacOS 27.2 beta as well. 

  • Great news! There's progress! Looks like 7.29.3.0 is rolling out on the Gamin website too (manual download). Still the old version being served up here in AU. 

  • So the app launches, I can sync my Edge 540, view the map details, and manage maps. Tools & Content, IQ Apps, and Garmin Connect all highlight when I mouse over them, but none of them will do anything when I click on them. I never use them, so not really a big deal for me, but the app is still kinda broken with 27.2.
