If something is important
enough to affect how they communicate, don't assume: ask.
We asked. They are reluctant to do any "installs" just in order
to evaluate our business proposition.
My MacBook didn't come with GnuPG installed.
I had to do that myself.
Understood. We would love for Apple
But our users know what GnuPG is, and they would, we assume,
trust it without any prompting from us.
As a guy who's been supporting users in communications security issues
since 1991, please forgive me for sharing some very hard-earned wisdom.
Never assume anything about your clients. If some

If your sole goal is to distribute GnuPG encoded files which third
parties are going to decode: Are these encoded files historic in nature,
or will you be encoding them "
even GnuPG 1.4 is way, way too much hammer for your task.
Of course it is.

There are many other encryption programs around, perfectly
capable of symmetrical encryption where key distribution
is
We distribute a particular set of symmetrically-encrypted files,
and would like to give Apple users the ability to decrypt those
using a simple terminal command-line, without the need for them
to "install" anything on their computers.
At risk of sounding disloyal to GnuPG, this isn't a very good
gnupg-1.4.23.tar.bz2 is the latest version. Same place as all other
gnupg source tarballs. But pretty please use it only to decrypt old
PGP2 style encrypted data.

Correct. I don't know where one might be able to find pre-built GnuPG
1.4 binaries, especially ones which support modern versions of macOS,
let alone ARM CPUs.
