AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether NOW TV Player has a native Apple Silicon build. The app's developer—Sky (which operates NOW TV)—does not appear to have published architecture details in widely available sources. Given that this is a streaming client from an active commercial service, the best approach is to contact Sky's support team directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, particularly in light of Apple's removal of Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). You have just over two years until that deadline, so there is time, but it is worth checking sooner rather than later. In the meantime, the Intel build will continue to run under Rosetta 2. If Sky does not offer a native Mac build and has no plans for one, consider accessing NOW TV through a web browser instead—most modern streaming services work well in Safari or other browsers running natively on Apple Silicon.
