Isn’t that box ticked by default? I think what Signal has done is gone in and deliberately unticked it to make you use the Intel Mac app in Rosetta rather than the iPad app.
Edit: yup
> After you sign the updated developer agreement, the App Store automatically makes compatible iOS apps available to users of a Mac with Apple silicon. However, if you’re already planning to ship a macOS version of your app, or if your app doesn’t make sense on the Mac, you can change your app’s availability in App Store Connect.
- drcongo 5y agoWow. That's even more user-hostile then.
- wlesieutre 5y agoI can see it making sense if you're a cross platform shop and a high quality Mac app is something that you're prioritizing. You might not want people to inadvertently happen on an iPad app that will run on the Mac but is worse than the Mac app. But it doesn't sound like Mac is a big priority here, so who knows why they would do that.
