1 suggestionWe could not find public information about ChartInstaller's current native Apple Silicon support status. Based on the bundle ID (org.Navionics.ChartInstaller), this appears to be a utility from Navionics, a marine navigation software company. If you rely on this app, contact Navionics support directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, the Intel version should continue running under Rosetta 2 on your current Mac. Navionics also publishes their main navigation software and charts through web-based platforms, which may offer an alternative route for managing your charts if the desktop tool becomes problematic.
