Still in beta, I'm still completely unable to sign in to it and have been for months, reported the issue several times and there's no fix.
Got a tip for us?

Have just done a couple of calls and been texting all morning and so far so good! For memory consumption we are under 300MB!
I'm still completely unable to sign in, it broke months ago after I reinstalled whatsapp on my phone and I've reported the bug numerous times and nobody has bothered fixing it
EDIT: Just updated through TestFlight instead of using the version from the website and it's working once again for the first time in like 6 months

That's quite strange, I downloaded from the website and have no complaints. The first sign in attempt did bug out but I restarted the app and now it's back to business!
I'm really liking it thus far but there's a bit of room to improve regarding performance when switching between chats.
Yeah it's strange but it seems like the latest update has finally solved it so it's all good now, yeah performance really hasn't improved much from when I used it back in August but it's still faster than the old electron-based app, honestly there's still a lot of room for improvement in Catalyst apps in general, idk if you've upgraded to Ventura yet but the new Catalyst made System Preferences there is a bit of a mess
Skype Preview 8.94.76.302 is finally a Universal app

Great find!!
I wonder how long before it goes into general release? I installed it and things are much quicker than the latest official release.
On another note, for those that use RealVNC for screen sharing, their new v7 is now AS-native.
Geee! Took then a very long time but from what I heard this is a Skeleton crew running it on Microsoft.
Worth mentioning that with Cyberlink PowerDirector 365 version 21.X.X, the application is now Universal, prior to initially being Intel-only. (Interestingly, Cyberlink first came out with the Mac version of PowerDirector in late 2020, most likely since they already have an iOS version and in response to the Apple Silicon Macs being able to run iOS apps, so they decided to do one better and basically make a Mac-compatible version of the PC version of PowerDirector, albeit with slightly less features (though a few more have also been added with subsequent revisions). But since the PC version of PowerDirector was designed for x86 Windows computers, it's likely that would be why the first two Mac versions of PowerDirector were Intel-only, but they must've known it could run on Apple Silicon Macs that have Rosetta 2 installed (and it did run nicely on my M1 MacBook Air that way). Still a good mid-range video editing application for those who want to go beyond iMovie but aren't ready for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or Resolve.
Are you saying that Photoshop 24.2 doesn’t work with Apple Silicon or are you saying that it might not work with a specific AS chip version? The latter seems unlikely as apps are not written to specific SOC hardware.
The installation fails at approx. 90%
24.1.1 works fine on my M2 Pro. Adobe is yet to update support for M2 and recommends M1 as supported until further notice
Hmmm that is odd. usually apps don't need to be coded differently for variations of the chips within a process family. I wonder what they are doing that breaks with the M2.
In particular the 24.2 update. Very strange. Adobe makes an exclamation on their site regarding M2
I don't think it's M2 related, it doesn't install on my M1 Pro either, I think someone might mess up and used a old package that had Intel executable in it, and not being picked up in testing. Hope they will fix it soon, as I am not going to install Rosetta just for that.
Works without issue on my M1 Max. I double checked the version just to be sure. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Reading through the Adobe forums it appears to be that the install will fail if Rosetta is not installed on your Mac.
