(*These apps run natively on Mac computers with M1 chip but we're still testing and optimizing them for Mac computers with M2 chip. We recommend using these apps currently in Mac computers with M1 chip only.)
We also continue to test and optimize other apps for Mac computers with Apple silicon.
If you're on Mac computers with Apple silicon, you can install the following apps using Rosetta 2 technology. The apps may initially take longer to open while Rosetta 2 translates them for use in your Mac computer.
Adobe Animate
Note: When deploying apps for an enterprise or when using stand-alone installers, ensure that Rosetta 2 has already been installed on user machines.
You can install Rosetta 2 by launching any installed Intel-based app on your Mac computers with Apple silicon. Alternatively, you can open Terminal and run the following command:

Yes, you can install plug-ins or extensions on Mac computers with Apple silicon from the Stock and Marketplace tab in the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Note: Photoshop only supports the new plug-ins (based on UXP, under Plugins in the menu) natively on Mac computers with Apple silicon. If you want to use legacy plug-ins (under Window in the menu), run Photoshop in the Rosetta mode. If you are a developer, check if you can migrate your plug-ins from CEP to UXP.
We provide support for the apps listed above. We haven't certified other Adobe apps yet and don't support their use on Mac computers with Apple silicon. For best results, run all other Adobe apps only on operating systems and hardware platforms noted in the system requirements.
We recommend reinstalling the apps on your new computer instead of migrating them using Migration Assistant. If you still want to use Migration Assistant, deselect the option to migrate applications or uninstall your Adobe apps before migrating.
Already used the Migration Assistant? Run the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Adobe apps and components that were copied to the new computer. Once the applications are entirely removed, you can install your Adobe apps on your new computer.
Yes. We have no plans to stop support for Apple devices with Intel processors.
