Well, it’s not exactly the same because of the iOS sandbox. Also many items, such as the private zone stuff, probably would need some effort. I can ask the team to look into it but given that I’m running a beta of native Apple-silicon Roon on my M1, the “native” part is not a good reason for this. [Screen Shot 2022-05-26 at 7.37.14 PM]

In this case, the votes on this topic don’t matter much because this work has been underway regardless of the votes. It’s critical we get there, but it’ll take time. The majority of the world has not become Apple Silicon ready for similar reasons to our own (framework dependencies). We all want it, but platform changes can years. It’s why Rosetta was so critical for Apple in this release. Patience is required, a lot of patience. Luckily, Apple has done a great job to make it easy to be patie…

Summary: It’s coming, it’s complex, needs lots of R&D / testing, patience is required.
