Adobe DNG Converter's .pkg installer requires Rosetta

DNG Converter version: 16.1

macOS version: 14.2 Sonoma

chip: Apple M3 Max

 

As far as I know, the DNG Converter (the .app in the /Applications folder) is a universal app that natively supports Apple Silicon without Rosetta. However, the .pkg installer within the .dmg file requires Rosetta to run, which seems to be a bug.

This bug can be fixed by setting hostArchitectures="x86_64,arm64" as per the guidance on this page:

Please update the .dmg file to truly support Apple Silicon."
