Does Articulate have any plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline?

Just to reiterate all that has been said in this thread. There has been a complete lack of real development and innovation by the dev team here. I understand that its a complicated mess trying to re-engineer the program from scratch, yet every other major professional grade program has a Mac OS native version. Even powerpoint's export times to HEVC have been drastically reduced because of the M1 Pro's media engine built into the SOC. On my Ryzen 3950x it still can take projects 30-40 minutes to render into h264 while on my M1 Pro laptop--which consumes way less power--it only takes 5. There has been a consistent lack of developing the program. Most eLearning professionals utilize the adobe suite to supplement their courses, and the media engine of the M1 is built to make these processes faster. 
Why can't the dev team at least look into making the product faster and utilize the different engines available. Heck, in premier on my windows PC I can at least dictate to utilize the GPU to help the rendering process.

FYI, this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to add a note that I've been having only mixed success with running Articulate 360 on a 2021 M1 Mac under Parallels/Windows 11 ARM version. It seems very unstable, loses line spacing settings, and crashes frequently. 

Posted about it here: Storyline 360 instability on M1 Mac with Parallels/Windows 11 ARM version - Articulate Storyline Discussions - E-Learning Heroes

Curious to hear the experience of people working on M1 Macs who have been working extensively, not just doing a few tryouts. 

Thanks,

I think we all need to start spamming Articulate with feature requests asking them to build a native Mac version. I submit one every time I have to wait more than 5 minutes for Parallels and Windows to start up (which is frequently).

Thanks to everyone, and most recently, Keith and Hugh. I agree with Hugh that there is far more complicated software created by companies far less successful than Articulate. I've complained on multiple threads about this very issue, never to any avail. Articulate has dug its heels into the sand, right about where its neck is.

I can't wait for the newest version of a Mac-friendly Captivate or any company that proves it can challenge Articulate with a Mac-friendly product. I'm a little surprised that no one has accomplished it at this late date. So many of us have raised our voices before. They simply don't care.

I'm very tired of doling out money to not only Articulate, but also Parallels and Microsoft, just to run their (admittedly effective but ultra frustrating) software. After my subscription is up I hope to be firmly established at a competitor.

I work in pro audio, as well as being an ID. Every software company that makes digital audio workstations or plugins that run in them, indeed any of the literally thousands of applications for pro audio make both Mac and Win versions of their software. This software is far, far more complex than Storyline, and these companies are much smaller than Articulate. I have to think that some Mac user kicked sand in Mr. Articulate's face at the beach or something and they hold a grudge. I've known people like that. There's no way that it's too expensive (it's not), or complicated (it's not, of course). 

Please please please please make a version of Storyline compatible with Mac! VMWare Fusion drives me bonkers

Joining my comment to the already long list.  I too would really like to see a Mac version of Articulate Storyline developed.  I primarily work on my iMac computer, and have kept a PC computer for the sole purpose of operating Articulate Storyline.  That, however is about to change.  I work at a non-profit organization, and all of our staff are using Mac computers (I'm the only one that has a PC to run Storyline).  Now that we have more eLearning developers, we have had to find an alternative because (as much as I LOVE Storyline) no one else can access it.  And, yes, I'm aware that it can run on a Mac using Parallels - but, we are a non-profit and can't justify the added expense of several licences for not only Parallels but also the Windows operating system.  If that is going to be your response to users, Articulate, perhaps you should start including a free licence for parallels and Windows for Mac users if you don't want to develop a Mac version.

In the meantime, we are switching to Adobe Captivate.  Thanks Keith for posting about the upcoming version (hopefully Spring 2022) - Captivate is a great alternative to Storyline, and now with this much more user friendly looking version coming, Articulate may be about to lose a lot of customers to Adobe. 

Just going to leave this here:

I'm actually horrified to see that Storyline is STILL not available for Mac.

My company doesn't allow me to use this solution because it's considered not InfoSec compliant. :(
