Do we have an ETA for M1 version for Mac ?

@yualan do we have ETA for M1 Version?

[therealdandecker]

I won’t speak to timing (because I do not know) but I know at least an insider version of the MSSQL extension to VS Code for ARM64 exists so I think it’s just a matter of time. If/when that is in mainline / production I would be surprised if Azure Data Studio did not follow closely behind (unless the VS Code SQL extension differs significantly for some reason.)

Rosetta 2 / Azure Data Studio work great on M1; SSMS also works well on Windows 10 ARM64 through the x86 translation. I think if anything the value add in ARM64 Azure Data Studio at this point is for Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu ARM64 as it seems Canonical and the RPi foundation have strong relationships with Microsoft. A nice IDE/query engine for edge devices would be a huge convenience.

Hi, are there any news regarding apple silicon version of AZD? Would be nice to have native app for perceived speed, lowered cpu usage and better power usage when not connected to the charger.

[ryan6416]

update on this?

[theramzay]

Any updates?

[lucasfolino]

If support for M1 come does that mean it will also support ARM64 in general, or the opposite? I can point to this issue #1774

[abist]

@lucasfolino Yes, hopefully it will be addressed for all ARM64 architectures, not just Mac M1 Silicon

[jaquesleroux]

I too would like to know if this is in the pipeline for Apple Silicon ARM please.

• Rosetta 2 / Azure Data Studio works well. But power/memory consumption would be far superior otherwise I am sure.

[louisoftokyo]

Are there any updates to share on this? This would be hugely helpful.

[DigitalDuquette]

All we can do @louisoftokyo is watch the conversation on issue #1774 and keep an eye on the VS Code MSSQL extension issue conversation for apple silicon.

Waiting for an ARM version of data studio. Hoping to hear an update soon!

[therealdandecker]

I imagine it’s not actually a matter of compiling ADS for ARM64 but the SQL connectivity. Rosetta2 also works well.

[tuxpoldo]

Please! It's a pity that ADS works slower on my Mac Studio than on my old MBP...

[jaquesleroux]

Bump.. any news on this?
Crazy.. SQL Oracle Developer client on arm64 JRE is 10 times faster loading+interaction than ADS 😔

[Nova-Logic]

Bump, we need awesome azure data studion on awesome M1 Mac's

[tuxpoldo]

August 2022 Release (1.38) since without Apple Silicon support :-(

[jaquesleroux]

Garr... Moved to October 2022 Release now 😞😞😞

I've started working on the ARM64 macOS support, I noticed that vscode has 3 flavors, Intel, Apple Silicon and Universal. I understand the Universal one can run on both Intel chip and Apple Silicon, but why is it needed at all? why are folks not using Intel build or Apple Silicon build directly?

[winzig]

Universal probably not needed for a dev tool like vscode, but the general idea is that most consumers are not going to know what chip architecture they're running, so best bet for a mainstream app is to offer a universal build that can run on any Mac.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary#Motivation

[cuong0993]

I believe 3 flavours can serve all users.
The universal one is for people who do not care what CPU architecture is. Just download it and use it on every MAC.
However, its size is larger than Intel/M1 ones then will increase download bandwidth.
And maintaining all 3 flavours need more effort from developers.
Then please consider trade-offs.

[alanrenmsft]

Thanks @winzig @cuong0993

[alanrenmsft]

Support for Apple Silicon is now available for Azure Data Studio Insiders build, please give it a try and let us know if you run into any issues, you can get it from: https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio#try-out-the-latest-insiders-build-from-main

If everything goes well, we should be able to have our first arm64/universal ADS stable build by November.

NOTES: The main app is now running natively on Apple Silicon but there are still some remaining works for backend services, tracked by: #20775

[tuxpoldo]

Thank you VERY MUCH!

[kburtram]

@alanrenmsft are you keeping this open or should it be closed now?

[alanrenmsft]

@kburtram I'll close this after the Nov release.

[alanrenmsft]

The ARM64 macOS native builds will be available for the upcoming stable release.

[alanrenmsft]

Release 1.40 is now available:
