My Question or Issue
Hi! I'm just asking when are you going to release an Universal or a M1 optimized version of the Spotify desktop app, because Rosetta 2 is going soon to be removed from macOS (according to latest macOS 11.3) and that would make impossible to install the Spotify desktop app on Apple Silicon. And also, by releasing a native binary, it would be faster and more stable.
P.D: AFAIK most of the components you use are already ported to Apple Silicon (CEF, and most third-party libraries) so it's on your side

Jee, thanks for no info, another reply with no reply, and pre-written macro. You truly care for your users. I have started the Apple Music trial, going to run with it, it's not Spotify, but if by the time the trial ends, there won't be a universal app, I'm going to stick with them, I swear to god.
Wow I am glad you came and gave this really important update on the development for Apple Silicon version of the software so that you can keep getting paid for a job you are not doing.
Unbelieveable.
Fix the app for M1 Mac please, I thought Spotify was the premium music service?
You don't need a vote to tell you there's an issue.
Is this going to be fixed soon?
I had the same issue. I found a workaround by disabling Hardware Acceleration in the Spotify menu. It should work until Spotify build a native app for M1.
we need spotify on m1.
I also have the same problem. MacBook Pro, macOS Big Sur V 11.2.3 and M1 chip. Can you please fix this, it's been happening for a month now and it's very, very annoying.

Hi there @jackrpress322,
Thank you for your reply.
You can send it here if you want to and we'll take a closer look into it.
Keep us posted 🙂
Cheers!
I'm trying this workaround but cannot find the Hardware Acceleration menu in my Spotify.app client, where is it?
Thanks
Hi folks,
Thanks for reaching out about this.
As with any new CPU and OS architecture, some time might need to pass until apps are optimized to work on those.
For now, it's worth to add your +VOTE and Subscribe to the idea @Ver sent previously, where we'll keep everyone updated.
@azertguigui, you can find Hardware Acceleration in the app settings > Show advanced settings > Compatibility > Hardware Acceleration.
Hope this clears thing up. If you ever need anything else, just let us know.
