macOS Anyone willing to help test a build on M1?

I don't have a M1 Mac yet but I'd like to make a native build of my app, Tiny Player, for it.

Is there anyone who'd be willing to download & test it? It's a music player, you would just launch it, throw a bunch of MP3s in the playlist and see if it plays. It's a free app.

I will post a link to the test build here if anyone volunteers. Thanks!

Sure, post the link and I'll test.

Thank you! It is right here: http://download.catnapgames.com/share/TinyPlayer-1.2.13.zip

Well, I threw an album at it and was able to play it no problems. Nice little app!

That's cool and is there any way for you to tell if it was running natively, i.e. without Rosetta?

Yep, it's running native to ASi.

Thank you very much! How is it, the M1, are you happy with it? I'm still holding on to my 2015 iMac for the screen.

I haven't bought a brand new mac in a really long time and I'm not really a mac person. I bought this air because of the promise of battery life and a laptop without a fan. It's really quite something. It's very fast and powerful for such a svelte machine.

I'm a developer (albiet not much of a mac/ios/xcode dev) and if that's your main jam, I'd wait until next year. Many of the tools I use are still using rosetta or refuse to work without a lot of headache because, believe it or not, a lot of makefiles assume PowerPC when they see a non-intel Mac and refuse to work.
