Apple Mac models with M series chip are not supported

The following from SketchUp may help but does not mention the chip. You may want to contact them: https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/system-requirements

according to the last update on SketchUp website, M1 is supported : We have determined that SketchUp is running stable on the ‘Apple Silicon’ hardware that powers Apple’s 2021 Mac devices. Currently, SketchUp is supported by Apple’s Rosetta translation service on this hardware. If you encounter issues running SketchUp on devices with Apple‘s M1 chip, please report them here..
