Apple M1 general support ticket

[dyfer]

Please note: SuperCollider 3.12.0+ runs fine on Apple M1 chip under Rosetta, i.e. in emulated mode.
This is a general support ticket for building and running SuperCollider natively on Apple M1 chips.

---

Known issues:

• Qt5 on M1 does not ship with QtWebEngine, and thus SC can currently be built only with the WebEngine disabled. This should be solved once we upgrade to Qt 6 Qt 5.15.5 in homebrew now comes with the WebEngine available for M1.
• Even after successful build, the binary compiled using cmake won't run, likely due to an issue with codesigning. @dyfer has managed to run SC natively by manually signing all the components after build see Codesigning issues on macOS with M1 (ARM64) processors #5603
  • SC can be still built and run in XCode, after generating the project using cmake FIXED
• on M1 MacBook Pro the audio will not automatically switch from speakers to headphones (Plugging in headphones does not switch over from builtin speakers #5577)

For reference:
Currently, building SC on M1 works, but without the QtWebEngine (== help browser).
When configuring cmake specify -DSC_USE_QTWEBENGINE=OFF, e.g.:
cmake -GXcode -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=brew --prefix qt -DSC_USE_QTWEBENGINE=OFF ..
At this time we do not offer M1 builds for download.

EDIT: this is not needed anymore.

SC currently builds and runs on M1 natively. In that case I'll close this issue. #5577 is still unresolved though.
