GroundControl won't launch on m1 mac #822

Big Sur Macbook Air m1 Ground Control Version 1.26

Download .dmg, move .app to /Applications folder, double click on groundcontrol.app, nothing happens. Thought maybe there was some extension that needed to be installed, so even dropped down the lower security settings (shutdown, hold down touch id, etc etc, allow extensions or whatever).

I'm wondering if this is an M1 problem?? I guess I'll try WebControl but figured this should be recorded someplace incase someone else is having problems.

My first instinct is that you are right and it's an M1 issue.

Have you considered using web control instead? It's a superior option at this point.

elliottw commented 3 years ago

Yup, using WebControl, just figured I'd file an issue regardless. Glad I had an extra rpi laying around.

BarbourSmith commented 3 years ago

Gotcha, glad to hear it. That's exactly the direction that I see things moving in the future. I would like to see the Pi basically integrated into the machine so that the interface is all web based so you can connect from any hardware architecture easily.

elliottw commented 3 years ago

That would be nice, but for people on a budget, it might be a barrier, to have yet another thing to buy, so glad there are alternatives (like docker) that should work across a large set of machines.
