Hi, how to compile my app for Mac Intel?

tldr you have to run the respective gradle package command using the intel version of the jdk

pretty sure I wrote about this a while back. let me have a look

Let me know if it is not clear

@Alex Styl Thanks, I have to run the gradle command with rosetta 2

[Alex Styl]

no u don't. why would u need rosetta/

[Alex Styl]

tbh i dont really know how rosetta works, but if it makes sense to you for running intel jdk, go nuts 🙂

[אליהו הדס]

it is not logical that the intel jdk works without rosetta 2 no ?

[Alex Styl]

you are probably right. never had to interact directly with rosetta, so it didnt cross my mind

I do it like this from bash:

(export JAVA_HOME=/Users/mpaus/Downloads/jdk-17.0.9+9/Contents/Home; ./gradlew clean desktopApp:packageReleaseDmg)

This assumes you are on an ARM Mac and you have installed an Intel JDK at the location given to JAVA_HOME above. Implicitly this will then make use of Rosetta2.
