Note: This release does not yet have full support for native Apple Silicon (M1 processors and newer) on macOS. If you are looking to upgrade to Haxe 4.3.5, which includes universal macOS binaries, you may need to force Intel architecture when building Lime/OpenFL projects, for the time being. Or you can stay on Haxe 4.3.4 for a bit longer.

(This message is specifically targeted at macOS users. Windows and Linux users are not affected.)

Example of forcing Intel architecture to build a Lime/OpenFL project:

arch -x86_64 lime build html5

The upcoming Lime 8.2, which will be released as soon as we’re done testing and we’re sure that things are stable, will include greatly improved Apple Silicon support. If you’re feeling up to it, you can consider trying a Lime 8.2 nightly build to skip the arch -x86_64 command. See Lime’s README.md file for details about where to find nightly builds, and how to install them.
