Notes for Apple Silicon Users (M1…M4)

📝 Notes for Apple Silicon Users

On Apple Silicon Macs (M1–M4), the DDRparser and ACF plugin used in the GUI app run fully native. However, due to how OpenSSL handles certificate validation, HTTPS requests will fail unless a trusted CA bundle is explicitly provided.

This affects features such as version checking, which relies on downloading a small HTTPS text file from our website.

🔧 What’s changed?

  • ACF plugin v1.7.5.6 now looks for a CA certificate file at:
    /Library/Application Support/ACFplugin/cacert.pem
  • A CA installer (ACF_CA_Installer.pkg) is provided to install the latest trusted cacert.pem file from curl.se to that location.

✅ What you need to do

  1. Download the new version of the ACF plugin from the link provided.
  2. Replace the existing plugin with ACF_plugin.fmplugin.
  3. Run the CA installer (ACF_CA_Installer.pkg) to install the CA cert to the correct location.
  4. Restart FileMaker Pro.

Once installed, HTTPS communication (e.g., version check) will work correctly on native Apple Silicon systems without error messages.
