The bundle ID com.HobbyistSoftware.VLCSetup suggests this is a third-party utility rather than the official VLC media player from VideoLAN. We could not find definitive information about whether a native Apple Silicon build exists for this tool. Contact the developer directly through their website or support channels to confirm whether a native build is planned or available. If this tool is no longer actively maintained, consider downloading and installing the official VLC media player directly from videolan.org instead — the official VLC has been shipping native Apple Silicon builds since 2021 and receives regular updates. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to verify the status of any Intel-only tools before that date.
