Question: support for macOS on ARM

[kristof12345]

Hi!

Are you planning .Net Core (or unified .Net) to support the upcoming ARM (Apple Silicon) based Macs?

I know its a huge effort, but many developers are counting on you. .Net core was intended to be a multiplatform solution, so I expect it to be supported in a future release (maybe .Net 6?).

Thanks.

Adding @leecow as well

Yes, we will support .NET Core on the new Mac hardware.

We are still working through this, so we don't have anything like release dates to share yet.

Hey is there any update on this?

[deinman]

With the M1 chip being announced today is there any additional information available?

Just ordered the new macbook pro with apple silicone, cant wait to develop .NET Core using Visual Studio Code

[lokinfey]

Any road map about that ? I think MSFT need to add .NET 6 preview asap , I need this to build MAUI in my new apple silicon mbp

Plan:

• Support .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5.0 within Rosetta 2 (x64 emulation).
• Support .NET 6.0 with both Rosetta 2 and native architecture (M1).

Tracking issue for M1 enablement: dotnet/runtime#43313. I asked for a tracking issue for Rosetta 2.

[richlander]

Rosetta 2 tracking issue: dotnet/runtime#44897

[Fares-Steen]

I tested it.
I could run it but no debugging.

Hi @richlander
dotnet/runtime#43313 only mentions .NET 5 and 6, not .NET 3.1
Is this now out-of-scope or in-scope?

[RobertoMachorro]

I'm curious as to why this issue is closed? Has it been resolved?

[mairaw]

@richlander has listed the tracking issues for this work above.

Is there any update on this? I am trying to install the msteams vscode extension on m1 mac but its pinned at SDK 3.1

Will SDK 3.1 have patches to support m1 or allow rosetta to emulate it?
