Apple M1/ M1X Compatibility/Solutions?

[weisscody]

Hi All,

I am looking to pick up Rhino 7 but found out that M1 and M1X macs are not supported. As Apple will be producing it’s own chipsets for the foreseeable future. I am curious if anyone has figured out a work around until Rhino 7 plays nice with Apple.

Thanks!

Hello - if you did not see this, I’d start there:

Apple Silicon and Rhino for Mac ...the work continues

Current Status: Nov 24, 2020: Rhino 6, 7, and 8 for Mac are NOT SUPPORTED on Apple Silicon Macs with M1 processors. Rhino 6 will never be supported on Apple Silicon. Rhino 7 development to support Apple Silicon via Apple’s Rosetta Translation Environment has started. Rhino 8 development to support Apple Silicon via Universal Binary for both Intel and Apple Silicon has started. The timing couldn’t be more fun! We’ve been busy typing on Rhino 7 and Apple has been busy with their new M1…

FYI, I just posted an update to this topic:

Apple Silicon and Rhino for Mac ...good news

Current Status: April 2nd, 2021: Rhino 7.6 for Mac should be supported on macOS 11.3 (currently in Beta) on Apple Silicon Macs with M1 processors*. We plan to ship Rhino 7.6 for Mac on May 11th, 2021. (A service release candidate for 7.6 should be available on April 13th, 2021). We do not know when macOS 11.3 will be available as this is Apple’s decision. *running in Rosetta2. This is not yet a fully native version (see below for the distinction). Current Status: Nov 24, 2020: Rhino 6, 7…

with some good news on the horizon.
