Thanks to the rapidly increasing usage of HTML5 and native APIs by developers, users rarely come across Java applets or desktop apps that need Oracle’s runtime. Java, just like Flash, has been known to be a highly insecure runtime and over time, tons of zero-day exploits have been discovered in it. This is not to say that you do not need Oracle’s runtime installed as well for certain apps but apparently, it has nothing to do with this pop up message.Įven though this is a quick solution, it is not recommended that you install Java, if you do not need it. It would be easier to figure out the solution if Apple’s pop up message redirected users to their own website to downlaod the correct package, rather than taking users to Oracle’s website which does not fix the issue.
