Before Requesting

Describe the feature you'd like!

An available native Apple silicon build.

Anything else?

Currently, we still need to install Rosetta 2 in order for BetterDiscord to work.

If the discord app runs natively on Apple Silicon, BetterDiscord will, too. The installer runs on electron. Just like discord itself.

And yet, installer requires you to install rosetta =\

Riddim-GLiTCH commented 4 months ago

I'm not sure what that is, but the CLI installer should work perfectly fine if the GUI installer doesn't work for you.

I run the GUI installer on my M1 mac without anything else.

Yup. Still built as x86. Is this planned?

It doesnt need that. The installer can run just fine under emulation or whatever apple uses to maintain compatibility. There is no need to change anything as BD itself already will work without modification. Discord is an electron app. Electron is not much different from your webbrowsers. There is no need to plan anythign here.

Many people including myself prefer to avoid having Rosetta (emulation layer) installed for a variety of reasons, so I had to do dev mode install here, as installer won't run without Rosetta.

As I stated above
