“adobe Application Manager Utilities” Is Not Optimized For Your Mac And Needs To Be Updated.

The warning states that the app is not “optimized for your Mac” and lets you know that it needs to be updated by the developer to improve compatibility. The warning will appear only once — the first time you open the app. It will also include a link to an Apple Knowledgebase article that explains a little more about why it is there.

Starting many applications that have not been updated for Mojave or later will result in seeing error messages similar to this one:

Opera is not optimized for your Mac and needs to be updated.

This app will not work with future versions of macOS and needs to be updated to improve compatibility. Contact the developer for more information.

In most instances when you click OK the application will launch and work without issues.

The errors will stop once you install an updated version of the application that has been optimized for Mojave. Check the vendor's website or software update system to find out if an updated version is available.

When you download and install an Adobe Creative Cloud app, the Creative Cloud desktop app downloads and installs at the same time. On older operating systems, these processes were handled by the Adobe Application Manager (AAM), which was replaced by the Creative Cloud desktop app.

If you’re using Mac OS X 10.7, Windows 7, or later and still have AAM on your computer, AAM automatically updates to the Creative Cloud desktop app when you download an app.

AAM does not auto-update to the Creative Cloud desktop app, or you receive the following error:
“Browser doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (AAM) isn't associated with any program.”

Note:

An older version of AAM (version 7.0.0.414) does not auto-update to the Creative Cloud desktop app.
