Apple Silicon Support on Mac Unity Editor

By pscheper on Tue, 12/21/2021 - 15:41

Please support Apple Silicon and release ARM native Vuforia for Unity on Mac. The current x86 Vuforia does work with Rosetta translate layer, but the x86 Editor running x86 Vuforia is painfully slow with framerate of rough 8fps in "Play" mode.

Vuforia has become the choke-point of our team's migration to Apple Silicon Mac as a dev-hardware platform.

The new M1 Pro and Max equipped Macs are fantastic development machines, and Unity just released the ARM native version of the Editor, hopefully Vuforia native ARM support will come soon.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your post. We are working on Mac OS ARM support for Unity, and will announce it on the developer portal homepage when it's ready.

Hi Even, Thanks for the reply, glad to know the ARM support is under development. Any idea on the schedule of release?

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know that 10.4 was just released, and has support for the M1 Macs. 

Thanks for your feedback, and let us know how it goes!

Best,
