Some ASi apps are missing from the Silicon display and do not feature in the 'Show All Apps' or the 'Show Apple Silicon Compatible Apps' list.

The example below is Authy, which should feature in the last of the 'A' alphabetical list entries. The Authy version is pure Apple Silicon (ie not Universal) and can also be run natively on iPadOS:

My presumption is that apps that work cross-device on ASi (Mac, iOS, iPadOS) are not being detected by Silicon v1.0.3.

I wasn't able to successfully get my PR merged. I will try again next month. For now, if you're interested in installing Silicon using Homebrew, run brew cask install zgosalvez/repo/zgosalvez-silicon to tap and install from my repository.

Current project is in Swift 3 and is not supported in current versions of Xcode. And it demands Xcode 10.1 do convert and that will not run on modern OS's. It's hard to contribute when we can't open the project...

The latest Tweetbot version 3.5 for macOS (I am using the trial version) is now universal, but is not recognized as an application by Silicon.

The app is recognized in System information → Software → Applications just fine

Here is a feature request. How about an option to exclude all Apple Own Apps like Preview or App Store?

May be it can also include Sparkle exclusion too. Or Apps within Apps.

I think should be possible without problem when scanning the plist i think.

Currently, Silicon only scan for bundle with the ".app" suffix hardcoded in the bundle name.

However, Silicon is also able to detect if an AU or VST or CLAP (used in audio production) is M1 native or Intel if we drag n drop bypassing the check for ".app" suffix, thus the existing code logic is already valid. (Tested it on my side)

Support for AU and VST could easily be added simply by having a checkbox to scan for AU/VST, with some alternate path checking and checking for different Apple's bundle suffix.

For AU scanning, need to check for ".component" suffix in the following area /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

For VST3 scanning, need to check for ".vst3" suffix in the bundle name in the following area /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

For VST scanning, need to check for ".vst" in the bundle name in the following area /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST

For CLAP scanning, need to check for ".clap" suffix in the bundle name in the following area /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP

After scanning I noticed every app is either a single or combination of type "PowerPC/Intel 32/Intel 64" or listed as Universal as expected, except "Zoom.us" which is appearing as "Apple"? Is that a special type or a bug? I couldn't find a potential description anywhere.

I thought maybe a bug displaying on the last item in the list. But I removed Zoom from my application folder and re-scanned and the second to last item still showed properly.

Thanks

As a user of hundreds of plugins to Logic Pro I would need to know what plugins are native Apple Silicon and who are not. I found that dropping a .component or .vst3 file on Silicons window will tell if its native or not. But there isn't a way to get Silicon to parse this folders automatically. So two suggestions:

1. add a checkbox to scan "Audio plugin" in the main window. Easy for the end user.
2. and/or, add support for dropping more than one file/directory on to the main window. And presenting the result in the same way as a normal scan. Less intuitive, but could probably be useful for other types of plugin also (Final cut?)

I learned about this application from a Japanese web media article. This time, we localized the Japanese language as well as other languages. The changes are as follows.

Addition of Japanese localization Only the parts that were localized in other languages were localized. This means that the window portion of the application will be written in Japanese.

Point of concern Whereas in English it is written as a one-byte ":", in Chinese it is written as "：". In Japanese, too, the front angle is used, but in Apple's genuine apps, it is half-width notation, so I think it is better to match this. This correction is not included in this issue.

Unchecking the "Only scan the Application Folder" is a wonderful option, thanks, but I would love to have an option to blacklist certain folders, like the Homebrew caskroom which is the folder with all the apps downloaded/cached.
