Aero
Adobe Aero is Adobe's augmented reality design and prototyping tool for creating, visualizing and sharing immersive AR experiences on mobile devices and in the browser. It allows designers to import 3D models, build interactive AR scenes, apply animations and effects, and preview experiences in real-world environments using a Mac or iPad. Aero targets designers, architects, product developers and creative studios who want to prototype AR without writing code. The desktop version serves as the authoring and editing environment for AR content that can then be viewed on mobile.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAdobe Aero's desktop application does not yet have a native Apple Silicon build. According to Adobe's official community forums (as of August 2025), Aero remains Intel-only and cannot be installed directly on M-series Macs. While the app currently runs under Rosetta 2 translation, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so any Intel-only app will stop launching after that date. Contact Adobe directly through their support channels to ask for a timeline on native Apple Silicon support — given that Aero is still in active development and is a recent addition to the Creative Cloud lineup, a native build may already be in development. In the meantime, if you need to work with Aero, the web-based version at aero.adobe.com offers much of the same authoring functionality through a browser and is platform-agnostic; this can serve as a temporary workaround, though the desktop app typically offers a more complete feature set. Check back periodically with Adobe support or monitor their release notes for news of an Apple Silicon build before the September 2028 deadline.
