AusweisApp2
AusweisApp2 is an authentication application from Governikus for German citizens to verify their identity digitally using the electronic ID function (eID) built into German passports and ID cards. The app enables secure authentication for government services, online banking, and other eID-enabled platforms in Germany and Europe. It supports both physical card readers and mobile device NFC capabilities, and is a critical tool for residents managing official administrative processes electronically.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAusweisApp2 remains an Intel-only build with no native Apple Silicon version currently available. The search results show the app is built exclusively for x86 architecture and has not yet been reported running natively on M-series Macs. Governikus continues to maintain the application with regular updates (version 1.26.5 is current), so there is still hope for a native build before the September 2028 deadline when Rosetta 2 support ends in macOS 28. For now, the app continues to function under Rosetta 2, but contact Governikus directly or check their official website regularly to ask about Apple Silicon native support plans. If native support remains unavailable by late 2028, the app will no longer launch on newer Macs unless a native build has been released by then.
