MySQL

The MySQL preference pane is a component of the MySQL server package, not a standalone application, and cannot be updated independently through the App Store or a generic download page. To update it, you need to reinstall MySQL itself from the official MySQL download page. MySQL has shipped native Apple Silicon builds since version 8.0 for M-series Macs — the installer automatically detects your Mac's architecture and installs the appropriate version. Visit dev.mysql.com and download the latest macOS native package (DMG) for Apple Silicon. Run the installer, which will replace your current MySQL installation and update the preference pane to the native build. After installation, you will see the updated MySQL control panel in System Settings. If you are currently running an Intel-only version of MySQL under Rosetta and want to switch to the native build, the same installer process will handle the transition.
