although nuendo natively supports apple silicon, i have to install rosetta even though i don’t want to.
is an apple silicon version of the steinberg download assistant planned?

Has anyone an answer to the OP’s question?

One year later, no reply and no updates. This company has contempt for us.
Oh, please. What a silly thing to say. If they had contempt for you then they wouldn’t even been involved in a free forum where you can logon to say things like “they have contempt for me.” That’s like a politician publishing a YouTube video that says “Google is censoring me!”
To answer the question (which I think is rather self-evident) SDA 1.37.4 uses Rosetta on MacOS.
Strange and unimpressive analogy.
However it’s not just this, it’s a general attitude. Count-in tempo is broken for some users including me and AFAIK nobody gives half a crap, the iPad remote app was broken for like a year before someone disgruntledly bothered to sort of fix but no bars and beats on the timeline because of “technical reasons”. I could go on. It’s a way of doing things.
Well, you certainly seem to know about that. Maybe consider that you’re in a user forum, and out-of-the-blue posts that literally have zero thread-progressing information isn’t the best way to get buy in? I see you’ve made 6 whole posts here, and not a single one has any technical information whatsoever, or any merit other than vitriolic unsubstantiated opinion. You just came out guns-blazing saying “‘Technical reasons’ is corporate spam for ‘I don’t care about you.’” No it doesn’t. The term “technical reasons” is pretty self-explanatory.
Anyway, good luck out there. I really do hope things get better or you, or you at least find something more constructive than just spreading hate for no reason.

I mean… it’s a bit weird that you need to install Rosetta for the installer… when the rest of the Steinberg software runs natively.
SDA uses the Aria2 components, which probably have an x86_64 dependancy.
At this point, there are some dependencies and frankly, removing the Rosetta requirement from the equation and making everything fully native, hasn’t been a top priority for us so far.
Of course, it is on our list, but the demand from the customer side has been close to non-existent and we had and have more important topics to tackle.

Just my opinion - while I do indeed ensure that my production environment is “native only,” I really couldn’t care less about SDA needing Rosetta. From what I’ve seen in forums, users have the misconception that installing Rosetta results in some system-daemon thunking-layer that eats resources while idle (a poor analogy would be the Windows HAL). Of course that’s completely wrong, and there’s zero impact on global system resources - it just precompiles what it can for x86 apps and performs JIT translations for ONLY the app it is enabled for, and only at that time.
I mean, even the OP simply said “I don’t want to” as the “impact” of Rosetta without articulation “why.”
Again, FWIW, my opinion is that it doesn’t even matter.
