Here's how to change the FileMaker Pro application to use Rosetta on an Apple silicon Mac: The solution is to force FileMaker Pro to run as an Intel app instead of a native Apple silicon app by switching it to run the Rosetta version. For example these functions have been removed: BE_JSON_Encode (also appears as BE_JSON_Encode_Deprecated)īE_Base64_Encode (also appears as BE_Base64_Encode_Deprecated)Īnd will result in appearing in calculations where these plugin functions would normally appear. Whilst there is a native version of the BaseElements plugin for Apple silicon it won't work with the fmAccounting Link and fmEcommerce Link solutions as a number of the plugin functions that are used have been removed from this version of the plugin.

If you are running FileMaker Pro on an Apple silicon/M1 Mac you will also need to use plugins that are designed to work with Apple silicon. BaseElements.fmplugin failed to initialize:įileMaker Pro 19.3.1 or later is now a Universal macOS app, which takes advantage of the advanced capabilities of Mac computers with Apple silicon and also runs on Intel-based Mac computers. When opening the fmAccounting Link or fmEcommerce Link solutions on an Apple computer with the new M1 processor/Apple silicon and FileMaker Pro 19.3.1 or later you might see the following error messages:Ģ.
