Sky Go officially dead on Mac from September

Apple have announced they are removing Rosetta support from Macs come September, so Sky's current junk Sky Go app will cease to open if you download the latest Mac OS. Do we think Sky will abandon Mac users entirely, or pull their thumbs out and FINALLY create a native Apple silicon Sky Go app?

Sadly I think Sky will abandon MacOS users, if they intended to produce a Apple Silicon compatible Sky Go app I think it may have been announced by now.

Perhaps worth remembering that historically Sky doesn't have a public development roadmap: it announces products at launch and not before.

I totally understand your point. But with a few MacOS/Sky Go threads on this forum you would have thought something from Sky along the lines of "we are working on it" with no detail or dates would have stopped the questions.

Getting a warning that Intel support is ending when I open it.

Is there a way to get the iOS app to run on Mac silicone, I know I can do this with other apps made for iPhone/iPad, I had a quick look (and failed) but maybe that would work?

Would now be the time to invest in Parallels Desktop and run Windows on a Mac to enable Sky Go?

Parallels is expensive. I am going to see if it works in crossover.

Why on earth would you do that.. Just stop using Sky Go. .Or close your account. Both better options than shelling out for Parallels.
