Question

Creative Cloud App STILL requires Rosetta 2?!!?

I'm baffled as to why Adobe couldn't update this with native Apple Silicon support - given the release of LrC and all the other apps today that support M1 Macs.

    Are you referring to the Cloud Desktop app? Why is it important to you for the Cloud Desktop App to run natively on the M1? Does it run OK under Rosetta 2?

     

    Adobe has a big workload getting existing apps to run natively on the M1.

    I would expect the desktop app to be last on the list.

      Are you serious? Yes we need to have an installer without rosetta, simple reason for software trouble shooting. i have issues when rosetta installed apps are running next to apples m1 apps. so yeah we need that and using "big workload" for a company as adobe.... kidding right?

      Thanks for sharing @Flawless_Wizard15B9.

       

      So you're cancelling your Cloud membership because of Rosetta 2 installers? Which apps do you use where Rosetta 2 installers are involved?

       

      Could you explain why it's a dealbreaker so it can be passed on to Adobe? If enough people present a compelling case, they'll inevitably review it.


      That's correct - I'm done with Adobe until all their apps, installers, all of the added stuff that need Rosetta 2 are coded to Universal.  I've run into enough issues (system freezes, crashes, etc.) related to Rosetta 2.

       

      It's been almost two years since Apple announced moving to Apple Silicon. Most other developments have ported their apps to Universal.  There's no reason Adobe can't move everything to Universal.
