MAPublisher versions 11 and above are compatible with Apple Silicon. Users will notice two Mac installers available on our website here: https://www.avenza.com/download/mapublisher/. Users will also see this choice when purchasing the software. Users with a Mac supporting Apple Silicon, will want the installer file noted as (Apple Silicon). Users with standard Intel-based Macs will want to scroll to the (Intel) installer file. Please see below for information on the two installers.
Apple Silicon Installer
This installer will work for Apple Silicon machines running macOS 12.x or above only. Any users with macOS 11.x on an Apple Silicon Mac, will not be able to use this installer. When using this installer on an Intel-based Mac users will receive a prompt that they are using the wrong installer, and will be directed to use the proper installer (Intel-based installer). If you are installing on a compatible Apple Silicon Mac that was previously using the Rosetta Emulation setting, you will be prompted to disable this setting in order to continue with the installation.
Intel Installer
This installer will work for Intel-based Macs running macOS 11.x and macOS 12.x. If this version of the installer is used on an Apple Silicon Mac, it will install as normal, but if the Rosetta Emulation setting is not enabled, users will receive a compatibility message alerting them to this when opening Illustrator/MAPublisher. Users can then either install the appropriate Apple Silicon version of the installer or enable the Rosetta Emulation setting.
If you have any questions or problems finding which installer you need, or run into any problems during the installation process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us using the form in the upper right corner!
