@neilph Thanks for the update!

Feel free to make a pull request using the App Addition Template otherwise I'll add it when time permits.

There is a bug in the installer which makes it "require" Rosetta to be installed.. A simple edit of the pkg file allows for native M1 install w/o Rosetta.

@arnvid What's the edit?

@arnvid What's the edit? @ThatGuySam - the fix that was done and communicated to Audinate for v4.2.3.1 was as following:

1. Unpack the pkg - pkgutil --expand DanteVirtualSoundcard.pkg dvs-expand/

2. Patch the Distribution file

3. Repack the pkg pkgutil --flatten dvs-expand-fix/ DanteVirtualSoundcard-fixed.pkg
4. Install

This was done after Audinate Customer Support explained that they had missed a switch when building the installer.

@arnvid Gracias! 🙏

People from all over reference the site and this repo so I just wanted to leave some breadcrumbs for anyone using Dante on Apple SiIicon, from an Audio Engineer who's been stuck on this problem for 8 hours to a Touring Engineer who needs this fix because they're going live to an audience of 10k in 30 minutes.

For those not familiar, the mentioned commands are done in Terminal on macOS.

pkg - pkgutil --expand DanteVirtualSoundcard.pkg dvs-expand/

diff -bpruN dvs-expand/Distribution dvs-expand-fix/Distribution

pkg pkgutil --flatten dvs-expand-fix/ DanteVirtualSoundcard-fixed.pkg
