Install the Ignition 8.3 Designer on Mac Sequioa

Today our company installed Ignition 8.3.2. However, I couldn't install Designer on my Mac Sequioa computer. I haven't been able to work today. Could you please tell me if there is any way to install it? I really value this job.

Thank Thank!!! :sob:

What sort of errors are you getting?

IIRC, IA switched the Mac to Apple Silicon. If you have an X86 Mac, you will need to use a VM.

Correct, this happened in 8.3.0. Unfortunately continuing to support the older architecture was preventing us from upgrading some libraries we use.

/Applications/Designer Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/Designer Launcher: line 31: /Applications/Designer Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/runtime/bin/java: Bad CPU type in executable

logout
$ uname -m
x86_64
2.2 GHz 6 cores Intel Core i7

You'll need to use a Windows or Linux VM and run the Ignition 8.3 Designer in the VM.

I prefer to work on a Mac. Can the designer version be compiled for the X86 architecture?:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

No, sorry, Ignition 8.3 is not available for Intel Macs.

"VM" == "Virtual Machine".

Run virtual Linux machine inside your Mac.

Thank you. I can give it a try

Just for reference, the last Intel Macbook was released in late 2021, so with a 3 year lifecycle of machines, pretty much every work machine would have been upgraded by now.
I use Mac for a lot of development and the ARM based units are worth the money and work well with Ignition.
