Steps to compiling on Apple Silicon machines, and request for official support about aegisub HOT 9 CLOSED

Thank you for telling me this important information! I have already set up a repo that uses GitHub Actions to build Apple Silicon native packages and released a binary. If you are interested, please go to:

https://github.com/leo-maxwell/Aegisub_Apple_Silicon_build

Some necessary modifications are made to make this happen. The NSUInteger problem persists and I simply defined that symbol to size_t. For other modifications, please check the repo.

For what it's worth, compilation worked out of the box for me on my arm64 mac machine, except for that one failing test and the code signing when bundling (neither of which are relevant when simply running the built binary). That's why none of these issues where addressed so far. I couldn't reproduce the NSUInteger issue or the language one.

In Github Actions you could use Apple Silicon machines to automatically add an Apple Silicon package at each release

To my knowledge there are no free Apple Silicon runners available on GitHub.

I/We can still address these issues when we can, I just want to make clear that Apple Silicon wasn't being ignored up until now or anything.

Just an FYI, Apple Silicon runners are available for free on GitHub now.

Thanks for setting that up. I always found Aegisub finicky to build...

I was going to open an issue related to the build, but you seem to have them turned off...?

Basically, the user interface is not using my primary language (English - Ireland), but is skipping it and going to my third language preference (Japanese), also skipping my second preference which is simplified Chinese.

For comparison, the build I downloaded from here by rcombs (1098 - 23/12/2021) will default to English.

That's a problem that I met myself when testing the local build. I can read Chinese and if you are familiar with Chinese characters (or kanji, in Japanese), I think you will find the button on the menubar that reads "settings" and change the language to English. Then the problem is fixed, and the settings should be written to the Application Support folder. Of course, this is an inconvenience and I will create an issue for that in my repo. Sorry for not enabling the issue page and that problem is fixed now. This issue is closed now for good and maybe I will contribute to this repo someday in the future.
