Apple Silicon and macOS Compatibility

For development on Macs with Apple silicon, note the following from Apple support (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527):

About Intel-based Apps, Rosetta, and the Transition to Apple Silicon

Apple transitioned from Intel processors to Apple silicon in 2020. Rosetta translates Intel-based apps for Apple silicon compatibility. Rosetta is available through macOS 27, but from macOS 28, it will only support certain older games.

For optimal performance, update apps to Universal or Apple silicon versions.

Update Intel-based Apps for Apple Silicon

• Use the App Store for updates.
• Check app menus for built-in updates.
• Visit developer websites for Universal versions.
• Update plug-ins and extensions separately.

Identify Intel-based Apps

In Finder, select the app, Get Info (Cmd-I), check "Kind":

• Application (Intel): Needs update or Rosetta.
• Application (Universal): Compatible.
• Application (Apple silicon): Native.

Universal apps can optionally use Rosetta for Intel-only add-ons.

Run Intel-based Apps Using Rosetta

Rosetta installs automatically when opening an Intel app. It translates in the background. For best performance, update to native versions.

This ensures development tools run smoothly on Apple silicon Macs.
