	~~The Phidget framework~~ will ~~be found~~ in		Legacy Phidgets running a HID USB stack require a driver extension (macOS 10.15 and newer) or a kernel extension (macOS 10.14 and earlier). During development, we recommend downloading the appropriate [https://www.phidgets.com/docs/OS_-_macOS#Quick_Downloads package] which will install the extension. When deploying applications, review the README in the [https://cdn.phidgets.com/downloads/phidget22/libraries/macos/Phidget22_macosdevel.zip macOS Development Files] for information about bundling the extension with your application.
