Has anyone tried Axure RP 9 with Big Sur and M1 (macbook pro, macbook air, mac mini)?
Any timeline for an M1 native code version of Axure RP 9?
I’m currently on a 2016 macbook pro 15", a beefy computer yet slugish for Axure. In theory even a Rosetta version of the app on an M1 will run faster. In practice I’ve seen a lot of talk of instability on Big Sur.
I have installed it and I run Axure.
I didn’t load ant rp yet or even try to login with my account to see full cycle.
Hope that will help you.
Enjoy M1 speed but you need to expect a few crashes in some Apps until stability is reached.
I run it for a few weeks… it works - kind - of ok, but not very performant. Had some occasional weird issues (e.g. copy images out of Axure and paste it in any other app led to those apps to crash).
It can run on a Mac with M1 chip, but the performance is affected, most intuitively, when dragging a certain component, it always feels that the frame rate is not enough, and there is a lag.
I’m on a M1 Macbook Air, and Axure runs great… for a while. I have to shut it down and reopen it as it slowly grabs more and more memory like Chrome on steroids. I’ve seen it with 32+GB. And MacOS starts to flip out and do some really weird stuff.
There may also be an issue with Big Sur regardless of M1/Intel -> I have crashes in check-in procedures of team files with Big Sur (on an Intel based Macbook Pro)
Addendum: Removal of Symantec Protection Suite and replacing it with Microsoft ATP solved that check-in issue (if there is 100% correlation I can’t tell for sure of course)
We now have a Beta build of Axure RP 10 that runs natively on Macs with Apple Silicon (Arm-based Macs). You can find the download link for the build along with more information at the following forum post:
