Hi. I'm not a MacOS user but maybe this build may have help you? https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendLuxCore/releases/download/latest/BlendLuxCore-latest-mac64.zip

Note that, try always extract build to ÿour_blender_version/3.x/scripts/addons" not "Install from ZIP file".

I have the same issue, and even when I manually place the unzipped folder into Blender>Contents>Resources>3.2>scripts>addons it gives the same error. The only difference is now there is no 'Remove' button to remove the addon.

I also try Blender 3.3 build from today, and same error.

The issue still exists. I think it's an arm64 support issue.

/BlendLuxCore/bin/pyluxcore.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64'))

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise Exception(msg + "\n\nImportError: %s" % error) from None

issue still exists, working with MacBook Air M1 and Blender 3.5.1

Isn't it because the issue in LuxCore repo about porting to Apple Silicon is still open? LuxCoreRender/LuxCore#484 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a duplicate. Although the original issue does not contain such detailed information as logs with pyluxcore import errors.

I can confirm Luxcorerender v2.6 works with Blender Intel build 2.93.18 LTS with CPU for Film device in settings, on M1 mac.
