Adobe Application Updater
Adobe Application Updater is a background utility that automatically checks for and installs updates for Adobe Creative Suite and Creative Cloud applications. It runs silently in the background to ensure users have the latest versions of their Adobe software, including security patches and feature updates. The updater is typically installed alongside other Adobe products and manages the update process for the entire Adobe software ecosystem on a user's Mac. Most users interact with it indirectly through notifications about available updates, though it can be configured through Adobe's Creative Cloud desktop application.

1 suggestionAdobe has been actively updating their Creative Cloud applications for Apple Silicon compatibility, and the Adobe Application Updater is part of this ecosystem transition. Based on Adobe's ongoing commitment to Apple Silicon support as indicated in their compatibility documentation, the updater component should be receiving native Apple Silicon updates alongside other Adobe applications. Check your Creative Cloud desktop application for updates, as Adobe typically bundles updater improvements with their main application updates. If you're experiencing issues, try reinstalling the Creative Cloud desktop app which will install the latest version of all Adobe system components.
