GarageBand for PC and Mac. Written by Apple. Category: Music Release date: 2021-04-06 Licence: Free Software version: 10.4.3 File size: 964.10 MB Compatibility: Available on Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Mac OS 10-11 10.13.6. GarageBand is a fully equipped music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. I found GarageBand in my list of purchases and I was able to download a Catalina compatible version. So it's out there! Maybe it's critical that GB shows up in your purchases. Another suggestion - if you've got GarageBand for Catalina on another Mac (or a friend does), it may be possible to send the app via sharing on iCloud Drive.
I just checked the App Store for updates. As expected, there were updates for several apps in order to add Big Sur support:
- GarageBand
- iMovie
- Keynote
- Numbers
- Pages
- Xcode
I clicked the “Update All” button to be informed “GarageBand can’t be installed on … because macOS version 11 or later is required.”
Seriously? Big Sur just shipped yesterday and Apple has already made a flagship app incompatible with everything else?

And why is it being presented on my list of updates if it’s incompatible? In the past, the App Store would never show incompatible updates.
This is absolutely shameless self-promotion. If they think this is somehow going to convince people to upgrade their comptuers to a new and untested operating system, they’re completely nuts.

UPDATE: Further investigation (see comments below) indicates that this was a mistake, not an intent to drop support for GarageBand on macOS versions 10.*. But at this time (November 17, 2020), the mistake has not yet been corrected.
