Apple released macOS 10.13 High Sierra on September 25, 2017.
With the latest updates ARCHICAD 20 and 21 should be compatible with macOS 10.13. There are still a few minor glitches with ARCHICAD and BIMcloud, as well as some High Sierra specific behaviours, but these shouldn’t hinder production work.
