All available versions of RealPlayer for macOS are 32-bit, thus the program can only run up to [[macOS Mojave]] due to 32-bit app support being dropped in [[macOS Catalina|Catalina]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436|title=32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later|work=apple.com|access-date=December 22, 2018|archive-date=December 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181222110440/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436|url-status=live}}</ref>
