Prepare TogglDesktop macOS app for Apple Silicon chip

[AndrewVebster]

💻 Environment

Platform: macOS

📒 Description

Apple will introduce new macOS devices running on the new Apple Silicon chip later this year. To fully support this new chip our application needs to be built as a universal binary.

⭐️ Why do you want this?

To fully support new macs on Apple Silicon.

Current situation: We cannot build universal binary because we are blocked by two third-parties: Openssl and Poco. Openssl has an opened issue to bring support for universal binaries.

Are you still blocked by two third-parties?

It looks like openssl and poco now work on Apple Silicon

Is support still on the roaadmap?

Toggl is basically my last app that is NOT apple silicon native. Not that it's a huge drain on resources, but it's just annoying to have that one last process that is requiring rosetta. It's nearly 2022, with the release of M1Pro/Max and the new 14" and 16" MBPs, apple silicon is not something that can be ignored anymore. It's not just happening, it happened. Toggl needs to get with the times! (pun intended).

cross linking this as it seems there are multiple issues open: https://github.com/toggl-open-source/toggldesktop/issues/4861

I really like Toggl, but come on. It is soon two years.

I've been invited to a TestFlight beta of Toggl which supports Apple Silicon. It should be sooner rather than another 2 years, @vkoivula.

[rhukster]

I also go the invite but have been on vacation. Testing it now.

Any updates on this? Would be great to not have to use Rosetta. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey everyone 👋 For those who still did not receive the email invitation to our public Beta and want to participate, you can check out this repository: https://github.com/toggl/track-macos-feedback.

You will see an invitation link in the "How can you help?" section. The app can be installed via Testflight.

Honestly not very impressed with the TestFlight version. Basic functionality like editing a running time entry can sometimes result in UI bugging out and displaying negative values while editing. Would think that input handling in the most basic functionality would be the first things to make robust. Is new Toggl version becoming The Vaporware like TextMate 2.0 back in the ancient days :)
