Hello Samuel,

  *   The R2025a Mac bundle is only compatible with the Apple silicon chipsets.
Additional development time would be needed to make a universal macOS binary 
(Intel & Silicon compatible) application and we unfortunately did not have the 
resources/time to do that for R2025a.
  *   Since the R2025a Mac bundle is not a universal macOS binary, Mac Intel 
users would need to compile the code with adjustments to the cmake and some 
files to make a bundle compatible with the Intel chipset. GMAT compile 
instructions are located in the following wiki: 
https://gmat.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=380273355
     *   There a Mac specific instructions that have to be added to that wiki, 
but at a high level it has the information needed to compile GMAT. Comments can 
be added to the wiki for the adjustments needed for the Mac.
  *   The following ticket has been created to capture the work to make the Mac 
build universal but the current projected completion date is TBD: 
https://gmat.atlassian.net/browse/GMT-8340
     *   In the event a customer requests this functionality we will update the 
ticket.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [BULK] [Gmat-developers] Will there be a version of GMAT 
compatible with Mac OSX Sequoia using Intel Chipset?

The Read-me file for version R2025a of GMAT says that it is incompatible with 
Mac OSX Sequoia (15.4.1) using the Intel chipset, but was built for and 
compatible with the Apple M2 chip-set.

  *   Is this correct, or is it really a "fat" application meaning that R2025a 
of GMAT can run under both chip-sets?
  *   If so what is the correct installation procedure to void getting an 
incorrect installation error message? I
  *   If R2025a is not a "fat" application, will there be a release of GMAT 
that is compatible with Mac OSX Sequoia using the Intel chipset, and if so when 
will it be released?

Please advise.

Samuel Dupree.
