1 suggestionpopHelper is not a standalone application — it is a background daemon component of TechTool Pro. There is nothing to update separately. According to Micromat's official statement, all of their current shipping products, including TechTool Pro, now run natively on Apple Silicon. To ensure popHelper receives the native build, update TechTool Pro itself through Micromat's website or through the app's built-in update mechanism (Help → Check for Updates inside TechTool Pro). The search results confirm that TechTool Pro 21 runs natively on Apple Silicon and is compatible with the latest macOS releases. Updating the parent application will automatically update the popHelper daemon to its native version.
