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.

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
