Our bootstap tool is written in Go, and as of the time I’m writing this, Go doesn’t support building for Apple Silicon Macs.
As such, we need to ensure Rosetta 2 is installed for our enrollment process to work. The only problem I had was that we only wanted to run this on Apple Silicon devices - obviously Intel Macs don’t need this. I learned about /usr/bin/arch
this morning, which led to the script below:
#!/bin/bash
arch=$(/usr/bin/arch)
if [ "$arch" == "arm64" ]; then
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
fi
This works fine as root (we run it from a Launch Daemon), and I expect it would be fine in a payload free package as well.
