iPhoto and Aperture apps are no longer available at the Mac App Store
Just go to the Mac App Store to learn about and download each extension. To start a project, simply select photos, an album, a memory, or even an existing project, and then choose the extension you want to use. Download third-party extensions from the Mac App Store. Photos for macOS. Apple is ceasing development of its Aperture and iPhoto apps and will replace them both with the previously-announced Photos for OS X app when it ships next year, the company announced Friday.

The photo editing apps iPhoto and Aperture are no longer available at the Mac App Store.
Apple has officially removed both the apps on Friday.
Head on over to the official Aperture page on the Apple website, and you get the message “When Photos for OS X is available this spring, Aperture will no longer be available for purchase from the Mac App Store.” The same message is also supplied at the top of the Aperture Mac App Store listing itself.

Even though you cannot download them anymore, you can continue using them if you have them installed on your machines. But it is unlikely that the apps will be updated in the future.
If you are wondering why this is happening, let me explain further. Last week, the Cupertino company released an update for its operating system called OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. One of the main features of the update was the Photos App. The new Photos application is the replacement for both iPhoto and Aperture apps.

Apple announced Photos almost a year ago, in June 2014, at its WWDC. The app finally made its way onto Mac, in last month’s beta, which eventually graduated into a stable release.
The removal of iPhoto and Aperture isn’t a shocking surprise. In fact, Apple notified its users last month. In the first week of March, during the open beta test period of OS X 10.10.3, an email from the company was sent out to Aperture users, which stated that the app would be discontinued from the Mac App store.
iPhoto made its debut thirteen years ago, in Macworld 2002. Apple co-founder and then-CEO, Steve Jobs announced it as part of the OS’ suite when the first iMac was also launched. Aperture was a more recent software, released four years ago in 2011. Netflix app download macbook pro.
The two almost share a birthday. iPhoto was released on January 6th (2002), while Aperture was released on January 7th (2011). Instead, they were sadly fated to share the same end-of-life date on April 11th, 2015.
Photos:
Photos combines features from iPhoto and Aperture, but isn’t as powerful as the latter used to be. And this has already drawn flak from some users, while others have begun migrating to Adobe Lightroom.
Before you start using Photos, we recommend reading Apple’s “Get started with Photos for OS X” guide which is available at its website. This will help you to switch from iPhoto and Aperture.
Photos and Aperture have independent libraries, so changes made after you migrate, will not be shared between the two apps.
Key features of the Photos app, includes cross-device syncing of the iCloud Photo library, which you can use across any of Apple’s devices. The synchronization occurs in realtime, so changes you make to an image will be reflected on other devices immediately. Despite the availability of iCloud, Apple still recommends users to take a backup using Mac OS X’s Time Machine.

Using the excellent investigation and instructions from Tyshawn Cormier (article here), I have replicated his work and gotten Aperture to open on Catalina.
You can follow his steps where you build everything from scratch, or you can use my approach which provides most of what you need. Note: this is untested software. No promises.
EDIT: he now has an installer that does all the work, though I have no experience with it. Also, for my steps, you will need to download Xcode (free) from the Mac App Store.
Note: If you have not installed Catalina yet, then make sure to copy the NyXAudioAnalysis.framework from /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks from your Mojave or earlier OS. It’s not present on Catalina. If you have already installed Catalina and don’t have a Mojave installation, then review the steps in the medium article to see how to extract one from a Mojave installer. Previous OS installers will also work for this.
To be able to do this, you need the following:
- Your copy of Aperture from the Mac App Store
- Some degree of comfort with using the Terminal
- A Mojave install from which you can extract a necessary system framework
- A sense of adventure and detail-oriented personality ?
Apple Aperture For Mac
Here are the steps:
- Download and unzip this:
- Copy Aperture to the ApertureForCatalina folder
- Right click on the Aperture copy and choose Show Package Contents
- Go into the Contents folder
- Replace Aperture’s Info.plist with the one you downloaded
- Locate the NyXAudioAnalysis framework from your Mojave install (or an earlier OS, it probably doesn’t matter) (it’s located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks)
- Copy the NyXAudioAnalysis into Aperture’s Frameworks directory
- Open the Terminal app and execute the following command:
- Execute this line:
- Execute this line in the Terminal
- Run your first test by executing the following line:
- You may get a gatekeeper warning about an inability to check for malicious software. If so, execute this line and retry the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES command.
- If it launches, then copy the ApertureFixer.framework into Aperture’s Frameworks directory
- Execute this line in Terminal:
- Test with this command in the Terminal:
- Code sign it with this command:
- If you ran ito the GateKeeper warning, then re-enable GateKeeper with this line:
cd ~/Downloads/ApertureForCatalina
sudo codesign --remove-signature Aperture.app
sudo install_name_tool -change '/Library/Frameworks/NyxAudioAnalysis.framework/Versions/A/NyxAudioAnalysis' '@executable_path/./Frameworks/NyxAudioAnalysis.framework/Versions/A/NyxAudioAnalysis' Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlideshow
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=ApertureFixer.framework/Versions/A/ApertureFixer Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
sudo spctl --master-disable
sudo ./insert_dylib @executable_path/./Frameworks/ApertureFixer.framework/Versions/A/ApertureFixer Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture --inplace
./Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Cracked mac apps 2019.
sudo codesign -fs - Aperture.app --deep
sudo spctl --master-enable
You should be able to open this updated Aperture from the Finder now. You can move it into Applications if you like (I renamed my original Aperture copy before putting the patched one in.)

If you run into any failures, you can copy your Aperture installation into ApertureForCatalina and start over.
If anyone wants the source to the Fixer framework (based on the medium article), you can download it here:

Notes (including some from Tyshawn’s article):

- Video will not import or play back because that requires 32-bit code that’s no longer supported on Catalina
- I have used this very little, so I don’t know what issues or bugs might be lurking.
- This has not been tested, so have backups and don’t use it with important data.
- This will likely break again at some point in the future.
