AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information about FWUpdateSmart in our search results, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that we are now less than 28 months from the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 will be removed, you should contact the developer (IST, based on the bundle ID prefix) directly to ask: (1) whether a native Apple Silicon build of FWUpdateSmart already exists, (2) if not, when one is planned, and (3) whether the Intel build will continue to be supported through September 2028. If the developer cannot provide a clear path to a native build, you may need to research alternative firmware management tools that have confirmed Apple Silicon support, or be prepared to replace this utility before Rosetta 2 is discontinued.
