Any updates on the native Apple M1 version of POE?
Months ago GGG mentioned they were working on a native ARM version of POE. Was wondering if there were any updates as I haven't heard of anything since.

I’ve not heard anything either - but this is also an ongoing project at my workplace and it can take a while… What ultimately bites you is dependencies. Maybe you use a third party library to load images, well it needs to be rebuilt for native M1 support. Maybe you use another third party library for network communications but it’s closed source. Well now it also needs to be built to run natively on M1 but since it’s closed source you’re waiting on the vendor. Maybe you’ve got another library that has build issues on native M1. Now you need to resolve those issues or wait for an upgrade. Maybe that upgrade changes your operating system requirements in unacceptable ways. Maybe the newer version has a completely different interface because they didn’t bother to maintain source compatibility.
The more dependencies you have the more issues you run into. The bigger the software, the more dependencies. It could take a while. |
