I do not get the issue...


it clearly states:


If you do not have an M1 Mac then this is not for you. The app is catering more to the iOS crowd


Contact the developer if you want to see Universal binary to run on your Intel Mac

M1 apps are Universal

Universal app includes native binaries that run on Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon


What app is in question here ?


Rosetta is used on a M1 Mac that need to read an Intel only application, not the other way around


If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac
