STM32CubeMX v6.0.7 on MAC (ARM): warning message

[FRAUBRY]

Hello,

When I launch STM32CubeMX (version 6.0.7), a message appears (see the attached file)

Is there a plan to release an update that will allow this program to run without Rosetta?

Hello @FRAUBRY 

Starting with CubeMX version 6.16.0, a new installer has been introduced with native support for Apple® Silicon.

Two installer options are available:

- an ARM64 installer for Apple® Silicon-based Mac® computers
- an Intel® installer for Intel-based Mac® computers

We are currently aware of this limitation with Intel installer and of the removal of Rosetta support in future versions of macOS. An update is planned to address this issue in an upcoming version of CubeMX.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded the file SetupSTM32CubeMX-6.17.0-Mac-ARM.app.tar.gz and extracted it to get the installer SetupSTM32CubeMX-6.17.0.app
After launching this file, I successfully obtained the STM32CubeMX.app program.
It no longer generates the Warning!

Good!

But when I check the file information, it still shows Type: Application (Intel) instead of Type: Application (Puce Apple)" !!!

Okay, this is what I did.

I went to st.com and from the ST Developer Zone tab, STM32CubeMX subtab, I choose STM32CubeMX, macOS (Apple Silicon).

I get a file called SetupSTM32CubeMX-6.17.0-Mac-ARM.app.tar. A tarball? That's an odd choice. Your team for STM32CubeProg sends a .app file, and STM32CubeIDE comes as a disk image. I'd suggest having one distribution format instead of three.

But no matter. Let's untar the ball and see what happens. I get an application called SetupSTM32CubeMX-6.17.0.app from Feb 20, 2026. Let's run it.

It creates the STMicroelectronics directory for CubeMX (but not CubeIDE or CubeProg, can you get that fixed too?), and installs the file STM32CubeMX.app. Let's see what info tells us...

Yup, it's the Intel silicon file, not the Apple silicon version.

Don't feel bad though, the CubeProg installer is wrong too, you should let them know. The CubeIDE team got it right.

Can you fix that?

Thanks.

Hello @Andrei Chichak 

Actually, this is a known issue, already reported to the CubeMX team under internal ticket ID #0061381, as discussed in this post
A fix is planned in the upcoming releases of CubeMX.

Thanks,

KR, Souhaib
