Apple Silicon Native Version

[madking426]

As the latest MacOS will stop supporting apps rely on Rosetta. Will there be an Apple Silicon native version for the Helicon Remote soon?

[Catherine]

Yes, there will be. Also, as far as I understand, macOS version 27 (the next one) is the last one to support Rosetta, not 26.

That’s correct. Thanks for the update.

Any Apple Silicon native version working on? If so, any chance we can test on the beta version? Thanks!

[Catherine]

Hi, you can get the version 9 beta.
The switch to Apple Silicon itself is almost trivial, but it coincides with a large internal re-work of the program. The current beta is usable but has known issues we're currently working on, for production work I recommend sticking to the version 8 for now.

Thanks a lot, but that's the Helicon Focus not Helicon Remote. Any Apple Silicon Native beta version for the Helicon Remote?

[Catherine]

Sorry, I missed the fact your question is about Helicon Remote. Not yet, but there will be. The current version will continue working for another year (if I'm deciphering Apple speak correctly).

I think Apple are saying Rosetta won’t be supported in the macOS 27 coming around winter time. Anyway, good to know you guys are working on it.

[Catherine]

Either way it won't be a problem, we'll release the native version in time. But the text I saw made me think 27 is the last supported version, so it won't be dropped until 28.
