running platform-native by default
I'm using LC 9.6.8 to build some macOS Intel/Silicon ("dual-native") apps.
Upon first launch of these apps on my Silicon test machine, I always get
the OS dialog that says "To open '', you need to install
Rosetta. Do you want to install it now?" I always click the "Not Now"
button because I want the apps to run native by default, wherever they
are running. (I'm avoiding installing Rosetta on that machine.)
I discovered I can avoid getting the Rosetta dialog this way: After
installation and before first launch, do a "get info" on the installed
app. In the macOS Info dialog, check AND uncheck the "Open using
Rosetta" checkbox. Close the dialog and now the app will launch in
native (Silicon) mode.
MY QUESTION:
Is there a way to pre-set my apps so their first launch uses the engine
that's native to the platform they're installed on? It seems like there
ought to be a way. I can't expect all my users to jump through this
manual hoop - and it just looks unprofessional to me.
Maybe there's an AppleScript I can run after install and before first
launch. But it would need to run automatically at the end of the install
process, which would complicate my installer-building process - I'm
currently distributing on DMGs.
Your thoughts?

Re: Livecode Compiler
Hi Glen, No you haven’t missed it to my knowledge. I’m sure it is a major piece of work, and with any project that complicated there are bound to be delays. We are all looking forward to a release sometime. Enjoy your day!
