Hi @ARLunan will you be working on this issue?

[ARLunan]

Hi & tnx for reply. No I cannot do that as I am not familiar with this type of code development and release process into repositories. I would be able to load and test released code on an arm64 machine.

@ARLunan There's some work underway in osrf/homebrew-simulation#2273 regarding support for M1 machines. I recommend following up there. I'll go ahead and close this issue.

Addisu, My Issue needs a clarification, in that the application is NOT native MAC functionality. My request is for support of a standard Ubuntu 22.04 OS platform that is installed on a Virtual Machine on the MAC M1, which is a very effective ROS Desktop. The package binaries need to be arm64 due the underlying MAC M1 processor. This is a similar situation to most of the existing ROS 2 Packages are available that are intended to by installed on either Ubuntu 22.04 amd64 for Intel PC hardware or arm64 for MAC M1 or Video Machines. Again, no issue to not providing installations on Native MAC so the “homebrew” work is not relevant to my issue.

Okay, this sounds more like a feature request. Do you mind creating an issue in https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-sim? This repo is meant for testing existing functionality.
