AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of SkyORB has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version to get the native build, which will run more efficiently on M-series Macs. SkyORB is distributed through the Mac App Store, so the simplest way to update is to launch the App Store, find SkyORB, and click Update. Alternatively, you can download the latest version directly from the official SkyORB website.
