Get a list of application binary types - Intel or Universal

applications m1 universal-binaries

Solution 1:

Basically I just want a list of application names and the application type (Intel or Universal).

Testing as both an Admin and Standard account, under macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 on a MacBook Pro with an Intel CPU, and I believe it should also work on an Apple M1.

Apple menu > About This Mac > System Report > Applications > Kind

Or in Terminal:

system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType
