M1 support?

Describe the solution you'd like?

It would be great if this supported M1 natively!

Thanks Jonas. That's a very reasonable request. :) We are currently using an older Qt framework version with no/limited support for M1 but have plans to update to the newest version and distribute universal binaries in the (near) future. :)

But I have a M1 and I have Lola running. I am missing something?
Just out of curiosity at this point.

Right now Lola runs under Rosetta since it's an Intel (x86) binary. This means the binary is translated to run on Apple Silicon (ARM) on the first run. The idea is to ship an universal binary that runs natively on M1 and Intel Macs. :)

From the docs:

Native apps run more efficiently than translated apps because the compiler is able to optimize your code for the target architecture. An app that supports only the x86_64 architecture must run under Rosetta translation on Apple silicon. A universal binary runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers, because it contains executable code for both architectures.
