UE5 for M1 Apple Silicon

Anybody have better luck using the new 5.1.1 with Apple Silicon? I hope it’s more compatible now.

I felt a little encouraged about the future of Apple/Epic after Elon Musk had his run in with Apple. He was considering pulling Twitter from the Apple App Store and a few days later he was having a meeting with Tim Cook at Apple headquarters. A few days after Apple announces that the iPhone would be supporting side loading. This may be the workaround for Twitter to not pay 30% profit share to Apple AND it may also be the workaround for Epic to not have to pay the 30% to Apple that started their court battles for the last couple years.

I hope this finally helps sorts everything out for native support with Apple Silicon for Unreal. Tim Sweeney did announce on his Twitter that Unreal was being developed “Whole heartedly” for Apple silicon.
