No idea, I sold the M1 the other day. It isn’t PS native M1?

It is AS native but maybe something in the installer is not but done in such a way that it doesn’t trigger the normal automatic installation of rosetta. Sounds like a bug in the installer. Odd.

Very odd indeed. The 24.1.1 doesn’t seem to care about whether Rosetta is installed or not.
 
Yes. I have Rosetta and the entire Adobe Creative Cloud installed (company pays monthly bill :), and it still has many smaller helper programs that are not native. I don't know which of the major apps they support because they are usually just named "adobe something or other."

HTH

Do you mean Calibre? If it's that it got updated back in July 2022. Let me know what you mean and I can try and help :) I use Calibre for all my books and PDFs from work.

There is a Mac Kindle app, which is still only an Intel app.
 
I've been running the Skype Insider Preview version... it's pretty fast now that it's AS-native!!

Does anyone know if the general release is AS-native now? I would like to go back to the official release.

Thanks in advance!

Im using official GE release which is native support Skype. I have never faced any issue.
 
I decided to install Sim 4 on my MBA M1 a few days ago. It was an Intel/Rosetta 2 app. Well today it upgraded to a universal app. The installer is still an Intel app, but the game itself is native.

Well, so much for Skype being a dead product. I found I needed to install it on my Mac today and the Google search came up with this:

Did amazon just forget about the Kindle app?

its had numerous updates since the first M1 laptop came out and its still not a native build...

Absolutely unacceptable for a company of Amazons size

I just looked and I'm pretty surprised. It's just a build switch that they have to add. Fortunately the Kindle app uses very little CPU.

still though, its reeks of laziness from a company that has more people working on Kindle products and apps, than most small companies employee entirely

Fidelity Investments' Active Trader Pro is still non-native and they have $4.5 trillion under management. Charles Schwab has $7 trillion under management and they don't have a native Mac kit either. Active Trader Pro and Think or Swim can use up a lot of CPU and you'd think that these companies, that do have enormous resources, could just do a native Apple Silicon build.

Banking/finance/Health apps, have some justifiable reasons (at least) for taking time...

A complete overhaul of those apps probably has to go thru a bunch of approvals to makes sure they meet all financial and healthcare regulations
