I assume you bought an M1 Mac, right?

Can you give us an exemple of app that does this so we can test it?

Try restarting your Mac holding Shift to enter Safe Mode, restart normally and try again.

Also check if the app is Intel or universal If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support. If Intel, you'll need install Rosetta 2.

Also check this link if you need to force installing it https://osxdaily.com/2020/12/04/how-install-rosetta-2-apple-silicon-mac/
