Oracle to End Support for macOS x64 JDK Builds Starting with JDK 27

Oracle announced that future JDK releases will no longer include a macOS/x64 binary. The change takes effect with JDK 27, the next scheduled release. Developers using macOS on Intel hardware will need to switch to the arm64 build. The decision follows a decline in macOS/x64 usage among Java users. Oracle engineers will focus maintenance efforts on supported platforms. Existing macOS/x64 binaries will remain available for older JDK versions. Projects may need to update build scripts to target the new architecture. The move aligns with broader industry trends toward Apple silicon.
