Is there a way to use Storyline 360 on a Mac?

What is your plan for the M1 Macs? Using Windows is no longer an option on this devices!

Our company bought 7 licenses but it is useless to some of us using mac... :(

Hope you consider us. 

Three years later and no native Storyline for Mac.

Poke.

Listen you’re active like Verizon or Cox right now with just terrible service and pretty much saying. We are sorry we know you all want a Mac version but we really don’t care about what you want. That’s pretty pathetic as a software company. There is a native version of MS PowerPoint so overlay whatever you guys initially did to build the window version of storyline for a Mac. Make your consumers happy sell way more software and be done with it. 

Having worked at a few software companies, it is no insignificant effort to build your software on another operating system and maintain it. For that matter when your customer base continues to pay your product and finds workarounds to make your software work in their desired environment, then honestly why bother. The customer base is already quite loyal and happy (or happy enough) with the product. I'm sure from Articulate's point of view it would be a lose lose to do this given their Mac customers really aren't leaving the product in droves... maybe trickles here and there. Not being cynical just realistic.

Software development aside, what should immediately be corrected is the FAQ on this topic. It can't run in the sense of double-clicking an app on a mac sold today and having it open, so the opening phrase cannot be "You can run Articulate 360 desktop apps" - this is obfuscation rather than information.

And read "Articulate 360 web apps—Rise 360 and Review 360—can be used natively on a Mac." A web app can do lots of things, but it's not a native app. This is just misinformation.

I don't see how it's practical to do media development in a virtualised system, because you're going to have to be moving things between, the native OS for performance e.g. in creative suite apps to edit animations etc and the authoring tool in the virtualised space all the time. Simpler projects would be fine in an HTML5 app, but it seems like H5P is pretty good for that too. An apple silicon build of Adobe Captivate doesn't seem to be on the cards, but for other software the only hit has been some plugins and a little performance loss - there is no time investment in switching back and forth.

I'm starting out in this field but I don't want to stick any real amount of time getting to grips with articulate if I am then stuck with Windows 11. I know I have no entitlement to any particular platform, but Articulate should at least honestly ward customers away from trying to use Storyline on non-Windows platforms and achieve some clarity.
