Adobe ExtendScript support for Apple Silicon
We'll keep this short. (the title says it all)
Adobe has now released ExtendScript Debugger 2.1.0-rc1 which now comes with full support for Apple Silicon Devices!
In days past, building Adobe CEP Extensions or Script UI Scripts for Adobe apps required a complex setup to get working properly if you developed on an Apple Silicon Mac such as an M1/M2/M3 series: ( more info on the previous painful process ) Rosetta mode, slow Intel versions of VS Code and or Node.js were required to protect your ExtendScript code on delivery, this is no longer required.
Now, developers working on Apple Silicon devices can debug ExtendScript and build JSXBIN files directly on their machine without any special setup.
The latest version of the VS Code plugin can be downloaded from the Adobe CEP GitHub Repo:
Just download the VSIX file and install manually with the Extensions tab in VS Code.
And for Bolt CEP Users, version 1.3.0 now includes the updated binaries for building JSXBIN on Apple Silicon:
Existing Bolt CEP projects can be updated simply by running yarn add vite-cep-plugin in your terminal.
