Hi there,

This is a friendly request to reopen issue #1003 build for Apple Silicon.

Issue was closed pending release of QT 6.2 for LTS https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/issues/1003#issuecomment-747026986 https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85279

QT 6.2 Support for apple silicon is now LTS. https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.2-lts-released

Qt 6.2 fully supports macOS on Apple Silicon. Qt now makes it easy to create universal binaries and to develop for macOS on both Intel and Apple Silicon. Of course, that version is also fully tested in our CI system. It has always been possible to run Qt applications on Apple silicon via the Rosetta layer, but Qt 6.2 now provides full support to run natively on the Apple silicon.
