does quicksilver run natively on the new M1 Macs on Apple Silicon?

[Jamie Tilton]

the subject says it all really.  does anyone know if quicksilver has been updated to run natively on the new apple M1 Macs?  I just moved to the new M1 Mac mini and would love to install Quicksilver (without it slowing down my system thru Rosetta)...

It hasn’t. Mainly because building with more recent versions of Xcode
comes with some undesirable side-effects, but M1 support is only
available in the latest version.

I have no personal experience, but my understanding is that Intel code
generally runs faster on M1 chips than on Intel chips, so I don’t
think you need to worry about anything being slow.

As has been my custom for years, I installed Quicksilver on my new 13" MacBook Air and was disappointed  to see this message after extracting Quicksilver from the .dmg file and also installing Rosetta.

Model Name: MacBook Air

Chip: Apple M1

Memory: 16 GB

macOS 11.4

That’s about code signing, not the M1 transition. If you right-click
Quicksilver and choose “Open” once, it’ll launch normally after
that.

Yes, I have gotten that code signing popup for any number of apps for a few years now.

Quicksilver runs fine on M1 when compiled from source. I don't think the latest release is universal yet though, which I was hoping to help with. I think once https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/2486 is closed and macos-11 is available on Github Actions, I was hoping to look at getting universal release builds automatically compiled, though looking through the tooling for QS releases this might be a bigger project than I anticipated.

I'm wondering about the status M1 QS?

Working great for me for months.

We're working on the signing issues, you might try a recent dev build (not a stable release): <https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/suites/4748416340/artifacts/131411427>

Relevant issue: <https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/2576>

Great, looking forward to it! Sometimes QS gets jittery, and I do carefully maintain the index on a diet, so I'm hoping this might help.
