Hello everybody,
I’m beginner on Processing, I juste need it for a specific animation that will be use for an event.
When the code is executed, this error message occurs :

Great thanks in advance for your help 🙏

`incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64')`
What hardware and operating system are you using?

Hi Svan,
I’m working on a Macbook pro M3 macOS Sonoma 14.1

This is a [known issue](https://github.com/Syphon/Processing/issues/45). The Processing Syphon library has not been updated to work with Apple Silicon. The underlying Java library also has [an open issue](https://github.com/Syphon/Java/issues/7) about it, so no luck there either.
However, it looks like the folks at OpenRNDR [managed to fix a similar issue](https://openrndr.discourse.group/t/unsatisfiedlinkerror-with-orx-syphon/391) in their own Syphon implementation. Maybe @hamoid can give us a hint on fixing the Java/Processing version 👀

Tagging @yaniki since they asked a similar question recently

> Dear Friends Do we currently have any version of Syphon that works on Macs with ARM processors (I mean native work, without running Processing in Rosetta mode, etc.). Thank you in advance for all your comments and information

Support for the ARM architecture is limited, as are its supported instructions.

Unfortunately I haven’t tried Syphon and don’t know much about it, sorry.
