Where is the Apple MacOS M1/M2 silicon version of Sky Go?
Due to the delayed update, it is imperative to expedite the release of the M2 silicon version of the Sky Go app. We are currently in the second year of the Apple silicon transition, with the M3 version on the horizon. In light of this, we would like to inquire about the timing of the release of a Universal binary for the Sky Go app on the MacOS desktop. While the Intel variant functions adequately through the Rosetta 2 translation infrastructure, the performance is severely compromised, even when running on a multicore M2 series device.

Sky really needs to either update this app to make it universal or provide a separate version for Apple silicon.

Arm has a small market share for computers and apple make up a fraction of that so what benefit is it to Sky to have a new team (or spreading the existing team even more thinly) creating/maintaining the app for a small tartget audiance?
In reality Sky "need" not do anything

we all know what Annie 'needs' to do.... anyway will just carry on with Sky at home and Sky Go on iOS and BBC, Netflix, Disney, Prime and others are all M2 / Safari compatible so will invest more in those guys. I think Sky are quaking in their boots financially (personal opinion) to start helping Mac users

I have spent ages trying to get Skygo working on Mac mini M2. It was simply in the end. download installer, open in finder and then get info. in the info click "open with Rosetta" a Rosetta download is prompted when you run installer and then hey presto it worked.
