Support for mac

[Bogenrieder]

Dear Developers,

Your library seems very promising! I am looking forward to using it. However, Apsose.words does not seem to work on my M1 macbook (2020). Could you please make a build for it?

Best regards Lukas

@Bogenrieder Currently we plan to deliver MacOS x86 version in October-November 2022. The appropriate request is logged as WORDSNET-24045 in our internal defect tracking system. Unfortunately, currently there is no estimates regarding arm64 version yet.

[Bogenrieder]

Thank your for your quick response. Not to sound passive aggressive, but why do you prioritize the legacy MacOS architecture?

[AlexNosk]

@Bogenrieder Thank you for your feedback. We will consider reprioritizing the platforms.

[Bogenrieder]

Thank you for reconsidering. I looking forward to when your library becomes available on mac! So far, I am using the great but sadly now unmaintained python-docx library and adding functionality myself to make it closer to aspose.words manually. It's not the ideal solution...

Interested as well in a build for M1 processors. Thank you.

Hello team,

Thank you for all your hard word. Any updates on this potentially?

[Cglezf]

I agree, waiting for support to mac x86 and M# processors

[LouisLecouturier]

I'm interested too..

[WilliamWCYoung]

Same! Shame as the underlying .net packages work on arm

[AlexNosk]

Unfortunately, .NET to Python wrapper does not currently support the M1 processor. Our wrapper team is working on this, but currently no estimates.

@texzone @WilliamWCYoung @louisgavalda @LouisLecouturier We are glad to let you know that the latest 23.12 version of Aspose.Words for Python supports MacOS ARM architecture.
