Themekit: Apple M1 Support

[ingueferroque]

Is Apple M1 Support planned, and what is a realistic ETA of expecting that?

Has anyone been able to get themekit to run on the new M1 Mac models? I was hoping we could run Terminal via Rosetta 2 for the time being, but that solution does not work currently. So it looks like things will need to be updated with ARM support.

Thanks for any insight!

Hi @ingueferroque

What happens when you try run Themekit on the M1?

We do plan to add support native for the M1 in future, but I would have expected it would run in the 'emulated' mode currently.

For native support, we will likely need to wait until this is supported by Go:

In February, the Go 1.16 release will include the new file system interfaces and build-time file embedding. It will complete the linker rewrite, bringing additional performance improvements. And it will include support for the new Apple Silicon (GOARCH=arm64) Macs.

I have set Terminal app to 'Open using Rosetta' and done the following steps:

• brew tap shopify/shopify
• brew install themekit

When doing the last step, it shows the below:

Is the above related to macOS 11.0? I have no issues running themekit on my Intel macOS 11.0 machine. Thanks for looking into this!

Have you actually installed Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.2 from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ ? 🤔

I think I had this issue on Big Sur as well, it wasn't related to themekit though - think I installed the CLTs or reinstalled homebrew.

Thank you! Reinstalling the CLTs fixed it! It is working now.

Excellent. For future reference for anyone who finds this issue from google, please open a new issue if you receive an error like a segfault. I am pretty sure that apple will emulate our binaries until Go releases a compiler with M1 support and when that happens, we will release it as soon as possible.
