Not able to run the Adobe IO runtime project in Mac system

[Mahesh_Gunaje]

Hello team,

My colleague tried to run the Adobe IO runtime project in his mac system.

aio app run --local

Gettingt the error:

Error: The --local flag is not supported on Apple Silicon Macs.

Note: Prior to this, he ran the command: aio app build It was successful.

Got some response from google:

It looks like you're trying to run an Adobe I/O app locally on an Apple Silicon Mac, but the --local flag isn't supported on that architecture. This is a known limitation.

Here are a few things you can try:

1: Use Rosetta 2:

You can run the terminal using Rosetta 2, which allows you to run Intel-based applications on Apple Silicon Macs. To do this, right-click on your terminal application, select "Get Info," and check the "Open using Rosetta" option.

2: Use a Different Machine: If possible, you could run the app on an Intel-based Mac or another compatible machine.

3: Check for Updates: Ensure that you have the latest version of the Adobe I/O CLI and any related dependencies. Sometimes updates can include support for newer architectures.

4: Consult Documentation: Check the official Adobe I/O documentation or forums for any workarounds or updates regarding Apple Silicon support.

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje 

Did you try to update the aio-cli version?

Hi @arunpatidar 

Also, I have observed while running the command in my windows machine

aio app run --local
» Warning: The --local flag is deprecated and will be removed in the next major release.

Then, how to run the Adobe IO runtime project in local?

Thanks

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje 

Based on the documentation, --local flag is deprecated for Mac chips:

--local              [deprecated] Run/debug actions locally (requires Docker running, not available on Apple Silicon Macs)

[AmitVishwakarma · Accepted solution]

To resolve the issue of running Adobe I/O locally on Apple Silicon Macs:

1. Use Rosetta 2: Right-click the Terminal app, select "Get Info", and check "Open using Rosetta". Restart Terminal and try again.
2. Use an Intel-based Mac if possible.
3. Update Adobe I/O CLI: Ensure you have the latest version by running npm install -g @adobe/aio-cli.
4. Check Adobe I/O documentation for any updates or workarounds for Apple Silicon support.

@Mahesh_Gunaje , error is very clear. Donot use --local when you are running from Mac. 

Is your app NOT running when you simply `aio app run`? 

1. First clear `rm -rf node_modules .parcel-cache`
2. Run `aio app build`. Does it throw any errors?
3. Make sure you create .aio. From your AppBuilder project, download the config.json, copy into your codebase, and run `aio app use config.json`. This will create .aio file pointing to ApBuilder project. 
4. are you writing web-action? non-webaction cron? or react app using web-src? More details and error thrown when you `aio app run` can help to troubleshoot.

Hi @sarav_prakash I ran the command

aio app build

aio app run

But, this has deployed to Adobe IO runtime. I want to test my web actions locally (i mean aio app run --local)   If this command will be deprecated, then

which command I need to use to test in local system only?

Thanks
