Good tip for potential macOS/Gatekeeper newbies Rick.
Yes, managing all these Illustrator versions and architecture targets in one project file is not feasible. There are many little reasons, but the biggest is that support for older versions must come from the project file having "legacy mode" enabled, but support for the newest versions must not have it enabled.
Someday Apple will entirely remove support for legacy mode in Xcode, which will likely be the next reason that support for old versions of Illustrator get removed from hdi_core.
