Can we still build iPad apps on MacBook Pro M5?

At an Apple Store, the employee said, we can’t create *iPad apps with Solar 2D/Corona.

Can we still build iPad apps on new MacBook Pro (M5 - M5 Pro - M5 Max) with Solar 2D/Corona?

Meaning with M5, can we still use programming, simulator, app build, test on the iPad app, and send Transporter to Apple?

*iPads current the range lower-limit to M4

If M5 can’t be, do have to create apps on a new iPad M4?

Thank you for any information or help, appreciate anything.

On the other hand, this PR might be related to the issue - Native: Add support for Arm Based Sims for iOS by scottrules44 · Pull Request #874 · coronalabs/corona · GitHub . Maybe @Scott_Harrison can shed some light on the situation.

Solar 2D apps on new Macs?

Not really sure if those notes are related to simulator or executables but 2020.3627 mentions Apple Silicon support.

debug.keystore doesn't work

The problem appears to be essentially the JRE included with Solard2D/Corona SDK on silicon Macs. There are two ways to fix this. The simplest is to install Rosetta and use the included JRE: softwareupdate --install-rosetta But there’s another solution: using a native jre for Silicon. I looked for the same version used by the latest version of Solar2D, 17.0.6. I downloaded the tar.gz to avoid system installations and cluttering the environment. I also used a symbolic link to keep the origina…

I would still need someone to step in with practical and updated information.
