"Mac Silicon" support #1

Open ewildgoose opened 1 year ago

Hi, I've a Mac M1 and VS Code shows a "not available for Mac Silicon" for this extension. What are the blockers to getting this running on an arm Mac?

jmr1 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Main blockers:

GUI based on .NET Framework
no build support for Arm / Mac

Generally apart from the GUI the extension is developed on Ubuntu so theoretically it should be relatively easy to add support for other Unix-like OSes and platforms like Arm64.

There is a plan to rewrite GUI to something else more cross platform like Qt but without a set timeline.
