@ SkyManager,

PureBasic is supported on Macs with Intel processors.
The M1 processor uses an entirely different instruction-set and is not, as far as I am aware, supported by PB.
Apple have arranged that most code compiled for Intel processors will work on Macs with M1 processors cutesy of Rosetta 2 translator.

So far the only problems I have encountered have been answered somewhere in the thread below.
Since then I have been able to compile all PB code that I have tried. Often it run faster!
