Compatibility with the new Apple m1 chip

[MarieK]

I was wondering if Local was running correctly on the new Apple M1 chip ? Has anyone stumbled upon compatibility issues ?

I didn’t find any feedback on Google so I figured I would ask the community directly.

Thank you guys.
Marie.

but I haven’t seen any specific issues with the M1 processor and most of the other users in the community have had positive experiences:

Local on Apple Silicon Macs

Now that Apple has started taking orders for the first Apple Silicon Macs, I’m wondering where support for these Macs stands in Local. I imagine that the basic app can work even under Rossetta 2, but also know that Local relies on PHP, nginx, and other packages, so I’m just curious where support for this new architecture of Mac is right now, and will be in a few weeks.
