Adobe claims to support Macs M1 natively for some products, but all available packages at https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop have the dependency on Rosetta (Installer app is an intel binary). Even some alternative links from support points to packages with intel binaries. So, how to install Adobe app without Rosetta on Apple silicon Macs?
ll of you responding on here hatefully to people not wanting to install Rosetta 2 are asinine. You all have no idea what these people are asking #1 and #2 have no understanding of why they are requesting it. They are pointing out that the installers themselves have not been updated not to require Rosetta 2, and they should be if Adobe is claiming FULL native Apple silicon support. That would indicate that Rosetta 2 is not required at ALL, so they should not need to install Rosetta 2. Yet they are! Also, Rosetta 2 is only a bandaid provided by Apple for lazy developers. They will at some point drop support for it altogether. So if, as a developer, you are going to take the time to update your software to run natively on Apple silicon, then why wouldn't you at the same time update your installer package? Doing this makes no sense at all and is sloppy. I fully understand all these people NOT wanting to install Rosetta 2. Get off their backs and stop being jerks!
JCWalton, Mike_M, and others thank you for the feedback regarding the installation mechanism used to deliver Creative Cloud apps.
Would you please bookmark https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/apple-silicon-m1-chip.html to be kept up to date regarding Adobe application support for Apple's new processors? I would also recommend reviewing https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861 to understand better what Rosetta 2 is used for and the difference between Universal and Intel-based apps.
