This is specifically for the Mac users on this list.

I have an early attempt of an Apple fat binary, based on Qt 6.3.0 RC with a 
locally compiled QtLocation library.
This is working "OK" on the m1 laptop that I took with me on my dive trip, but 
I didn't bring an x86 Mac.

If you have access to a Mac running macOS 11.3 or newer (sorry, can't build for 
older than that and do a fat binary), either m1 or Intel. would you give this 
binary a test please and report back here?

Download the dmg and open it. For me double clicking on the icon doesn't appear 
to work, so you'll have to launch things from a terminal

simply start 

/Volumes/Subsurface-5.0.8-12-ge37babefa713/Subsurface.app/Contents/MacOS/Subsurface

BTW: this DMG and the binary inside aren't signed (I didn't bring my signing 
keys with me, not expecting to get this far, but we ended up not diving today 
so there was some time to dig into this...).

Open your cloud storage, try downloading, look at the statistics, do a few 
things.
For me here locally things seem to work (except no printing since we don't have 
QtWebKit). But maps work, downloading works, etc.

I'd love to know how this does on Intel Macs and on other people's m1 Macs :)

Thanks

PS: no, I don't see myself switching to this as the default binary for Mac any 
time soon - the lack of printing alone is issue enough. But I do want to 
continue to work on m1 support as I think more and more of our users will get a 
new Mac at some point. And not making them go through Rosetta seems like a good 
thing. Similarly, at some point we'll need to think about moving to Qt6 as our 
default environment.
