This is very important for our work! We are running Linux virtual machines in our local development environment on Macbook Pro M1 machines.
Any news on this? Can be compiled to new arch arm? Cloud providers as AWS are moving forward with new instance based on arm64/v8. Docker hub also pushing images with that arch.

>We currently support our odbc driver on Mac including those with an Apple M1 chip.
Yes I agree
>If there are issues running on Mac with an Apple M2 chip, please contact the IBM Service team with specific details.
There is not and this is not specified in my description of the issue. Perhaps the title should of been more specific to docker on MacOS using Apple ARM processors can't install IBM i Access in a Linux docker container.
>As the description provided seems to be unrelated, we are not exactly sure what you are requesting. Please provide additional details for the specific support you are requesting.
Like i mentioned above the issue is when you run a Linux docker container on a host MacOS machine and the Linux docker container is using the IBM i Access ODBC driver it won't work. I have to set the docker-compose platform: linux/x86_64 for the container to work and that then requires running in Emulation mode and QEMU. I'm assuming its because you don't support Linux on arm64 processors ?
Here is the part of the docker build that fails and the error that comes back:
