Someone posted his arm64 fork in the official issue thread, I can confirm this compiles perfectly under Xcode 12.3.

For those who cannot wait for official support and are comfortable with Xcode, this is your best solution.

Update: I just realized using this as daily-driver could potentially be a bad idea, since libtransmission/version.h is auto-generated and the incomplete peer id / version combo won't get accepted by some trackers.

If I stole the definition file from a stable release like 3.00 and disable the auto-generate script, my transmission client got accepted by the trackers that wouldn't before. But because I am on a modified, non-official client, this could break the rules set by the tracker, therefore could very likely get my account banned. Please use this at your own discretion.

@tonyunreal Thanks for the warning note on that

The official nightly builds now include a universal binary that runs natively on apple silicon.

Feel free to comment on this issue for any future updates.

Until then, you're welcome to browse through the other M1 Issues to help with missing info on other apps.

Recommend to use the cli & web UI before the official release for universal GUI.

brew install transmission-cli
brew services start transmission-cli
open http://127.0.0.1:9091
