I have an M1. I compile Android apps in Android Studio a lot. For a small Android app without many bells and whistles M1 compiles fast (even faster than my Ubuntu laptop). However some Android apps I compile have some C/C++ code compiled with the NDK and accessed via JNI - and which now have to compile on an ARM chip - and that is a rigmarole currently ( https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1299 https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1299 ) to the extent that I am just sticking with Ubuntu on x86-64 until ARM is fully supported in Android Studio full release (not some alpha/canary version).
Also, I have never used the MacOS Active Trader Pro app, but I downloaded it to my M1 and it did not work, and online old Macbook users say it works and people with M1s say it has problems on M1.
So my experience is look to see what apps support M1 and ARM. I can tell you that Rosetta does not work for everything.
Apps were not working, and I put Rosetta in, and now some apps work and some don't. So this is another thing to look into.
(Side point - my work laptop is not an M1 and was force updated to 11.6.2 a few months ago. Now when the screen is unused for a few minutes and the computer sleeps or hibernates or whatever, I can't log back in any more half the time and have to shut down and reboot)
- jrowley 4y agoRe your side point, In the past I have had that same issue especially when external monitors / accessories are attached. Not that I think detaching monitors before sleep is a reasonable work around. But I was able to isolate it to that. My work around was disabling sleep at the time. :/
- Ologn 4y agoThanks, I will probably disable sleep.
