Preliminary support for Windows ARM64?

[zonetrooper32]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this amazing piece of software!

Microsoft has finally published a useable preview of WPF with full ARM64 support: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-july-2021/#windows-arm64

While it is potentially unstable & probably too much to ask, I'm wondering if a preliminary support for ARM64 is possible at this point?

I want buy a new pc with ARM processor... I know that in emulation I can work also with Affinity suite, but there is a road map for the ARM64 version? Ithink that performance could be better with ARM version.

Thank you

So .Net 6, released in November 2021, supports WPF for ARM64.  So what's the excuse now?  Or can you at least admit that this is no longer planned?

Hi @jhoff80,

.NET 6 is not compatible with Windows 7 & 8, which the Affinity apps still support - therefore we can't currently implement this version of .NET as a requirement for the Affinity apps.

As I understand, this is still something our developers are considering for a future version, however we cannot provide any timescales for it's potential implementation at this time.

I hope this clears things up!
