There have been no updates to Retroactive in six months. At some point those re-installed frameworks and libraries will cease to work because they rely on other interfaces in macOS that will become incompatible. Retroactive works by re-installing old frameworks and libraries long since removed from macOS.
Aperture relies on them to render previews, export JPGs, etc.

It seems an update to the OpenCL and ImageCore frameworks may be the root cause. It seems Retroactive broke after the last updates to Mojave, Catalina, and possibly Big Sur according to issues reported on their project page. I can't believe this works! App: Apple Aperture Retroactive Author: PhotoJoseph I'll update you as soon as that's completed.
Well, back to the process of converting this library to Lightroom. I suspect this will be a bit faster than the old iMac I've been running Aperture on -) I gotta say… I never thought I'd see Aperture running on a Mac Pro!! My library opened just fine.

So, you download Retroactive, launch it, and it walks you through a couple of steps, and then… Once installed, this is what you'll see in the Applications folder… Obviously I wanted to try this! So I downloaded Aperture from the App Store… I wasn't sure if it'd actually download (I thought in the past I'd seen a “not supported” error and it wouldn't download?), but it worked! You'll have to find it in your previous downloads (just click your name in the lower left corner of the App Store), as it won't show up in search results. You can read more about the app and its development in this Medium post. Just visit the GitHub page and follow the instructions. This is an open source project, and you have to download it from GitHub, but it's fully documented and easy to get to. However in the process of starting this, I learned of a tool I'd never heard of before (someone probably told me about it and I ignored it, if we're being honest), and that's the tool Retroactive. I'm documenting it all so I can write a complete story, summary and advice once I'm done. I'm in that process right now, and it's going… well… ish… but it's happening. But I finally decided to put the time into migrating these old Aperture libraries to Lightroom.
Not for any new photos - regular readers will know that I've been using Lightroom for quite a while now - but for my old libraries. Personally, I froze an iMac at macOS Mojave 10.14.4 and have been running Aperture on there. Officially, macOS Mojave was the last version of macOS that supported Aperture. But for many users, the app has lived on. The end of Aperture was announced on J(for a bit of nostalgia, here's the article I wrote that day), and last updated in October 2014. This is the first post in a long time I've made on Aperture, but it turns out (yes, this is old news) that you can run Aperture on Big Sur, with the help of a little app called… Retroactive.

Read his full comment here, and be sure to visit the Retroactive GitHub page before attempting to use it. Many users are now reporting that thumbnails fail to load in Aperture, and according to reader Walter Rowe, there are some core requirements that Retroactive uses which may themselves be no longer compatible. Retroactive may have met the end of its life.
