Compatibility with most recent macOS and M1 processor

[Mark Berger]

Is Tap Forms 5 compatible with macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterrey? Is it compatible with the M1 processor?

[tonyt]

Yes, yes and yes, and Ventura too.

Tap Forms 5 is compiled for Intel, so it requires Rosetta 2 to be installed. The first time you launch any Intel application on an Apple Silicon device, you’ll be asked if you want to install Rosetta. Just let it do that. You won’t notice any speed difference. In fact, it’ll actually run faster on the M1 than on an Intel native machine.

Having said that, I am working on an Apple Silicon native version of Tap Forms which will be coming out when I’m done it.

Thanks!

Hello,

any update on having a native support for Mx processors without requiring Rosetta?

Many thanks,

Antonio

Hi Antonio,

I’m working on a new version of Tap Forms which is fully Apple Silicon native. Coming later this year.

Thanks,

Brendan

Wow, very exciting! I have a M1 Mac and M1 iPad. Would be happy to help beta test! :)

[Brendan]

Hi Pinny,

You can email me at support@tapforms.com and I can set you up.

Thanks,

Brendan

Greetings,

just touching base to see if there is any progress on this.

Thanks a lot,

Antonio

Still working on it. Almost done with the Mac version and also working on the next iOS version to be released simultaneously with the new Mac version. Sorry I don’t have much more to say about it than it’ll be worth the wait.

Thanks a lot Brendan, happy to help with beta test in case, on a M2 Mac mini, iPhone 14 and iPad Air 5th

Hi Antonio,

I’m not ready for beta testing the iOS version yet. So just the Mac version.

Please email me at support@tapforms.com and if you’re willing to provide regular feedback, then I can let you in. I have a Slack channel where beta testers can post their feedback and communicate with me in near real-time (when I’m not mountain biking or sleeping :) ) about their issues with the beta.

@pinny any feedback on the beta yet? I haven’t heard from you since I gave you access.

Thanks!

Brendan

Hey Brendan,

Truth is that I use Tapforms mainly on iOS so I haven’t done much testing, as I have been waiting for the iOS Beta.

That said, I loaded one my main Documents into the Mac Beta version this morning, and I will use it exclusively going forward for the next couple weeks. I’ll update the Slack with my findings.

Best regards,

Pinny

Hi Pinny,

Ah excellent. Thanks for that. Looking forward to your feedback. I am working on the iOS version but want to finish up a few things on the Mac version still. And then have a few things left on the iOS version before testing can begin there.

Thanks,

Brendan
