I’m sure what he said was that apple had a two year plan to switch from Intel to apple silicon across their range. He also said that Intel macs would be supported for years to come. I certainly don’t remember him saying that developers had two years to move to apple silicon. People are still buying Intel based 27” iMacs and Mac Pros!

Not sure what selling intel macs has to do with rosetta. I’m thinking it has another another two years at most. Few will waste time updating for m1 as long as rosetta is around. The sooner the cord is cut the better.

The tricky part is what you can run today may not be happening in a year or two. All those intel mac apps and games go poof. The majority of mac buyers are probably oblivious to this.

Well if they’re still selling Intel macs there’s still a need for people to write Intel based programmes. And still a need to help these guys transition.

Rosetta will be around for a while. There’s no real reason for it not to be. There’s a ton of music production software still not apple silicon native. Native Instruments have been working on native apps for over a year now but not one has made it out the door. Everything has to work as a plug in and most DAWs have to run via Rosetta if any of their plug ins are not apple silicon native. A lot of music software doesn’t even support Monterey at the moment.

A lot of pro software is also being run on Mac Pro’s and they’re still all Intel based. I’m actually not sure how apple can go exclusively apple silicon on Mac Pro’s without seriously crippling performance. They’re going to seriously have to ramp up GPU performance to compete with dedicated cards. I guess that’s why there’s rumours that they’re going to be keeping Intel Mac Pro’s and for a while

No, but I’m running it and it works flawless

I’m on the latest stable release, and although it’s not native, it runs great. Good to see there’s still development on this, usually don’t see a lot of updates for Transmission.

No need as it a. Light app, so updates are not needed besides now

Thanks for the report, not what I wanted to hear as I use InDesign a lot at times. I’m on the prerelease too so might have to jump on that. But InDesign and Mac have a long history of having an unstable relationship during the first versions of a new macOS. :p

Yeah Adobe are pretty pathetic on software development for macOS and iPhone and SJ was right to call them out numerous times when he was alive. for a large corporation making billions in income, which they use to leverage into other markets from their traditional DTP market, there's no excuse, too much cross platform common code, all dev is offshored in India so the sales and marketing folks aren't sharing corridors with the people who produce this garbage code base.

So, the apps that I’m missing as native or universal are;
Teams
OneDrive (beta out)
Dropbox (beta out)
Skype for business (don’t think it will cum)
Facebook messenger

Hey, do any of you think Discord will release an M1 app (Universal app) sooner rather than later?

On the other hand, does anyone know if it is that difficult to recompile an app for Apple Silicon? Does Xcode make all the job? or you have to change the code? Thank you.

Discord Public Beta is now a Universal app. It runs so much smoother.

Still no sign of an ARM64 build of Teams despite a new version going into beta. Sigh... :(

its insane how a company like MS still has yet to make its full suite of office products ARM native... its even more insane that it was not prioritized because of the pandemic and the amount of people working from home... its would be one thing if this was being made by a small team. but its freaking MS!


Its been what? more than a year and Teams still is 64 bit? I just checked and yup and No ARM from that link

Same thing for the Kindle app....Like come on.... You have no excuse either Amazon!
 
Hello, my name is ____. Please give me a moment to review the previous correspondence.

Unfortunately, we do not have any update on that. It is an internal process.

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the Kindle reading app for Mac.

yes, both via the app store (mac app store) and via the amazon site

both are still only 64bit

there is really no ETA? even though M1 computers have been out for more than a year?

the current app runs really poorly on m1 machines right now

I was then told to go here to voice my "concerns" about a lack of a m1 Native Kindle app

and still no ARM build...

This is absurd at this point, what excuse does Microsoft have for not having their entire product suite being ARM native yet? there are apps being made by a team of 5 people that are already ARM native... Do they have like 1 person working on the mac build? I would honestly like to see how many companies left MS for slack because of this.... I mean especially with everyone working from home...
