Data Loader on Mac M1:
The M1 is the new Apple-designed System on a Chip (SoC) that's been developed for use in Macs. While Salesforce updates Data Loader periodically to support the latest OS releases, the time frame for doing so depends on support by underlying third-party libraries. In the case where you are running Mac OS on Mac M1 hardware, errors on your console indicate that the Eclipse SWT library, required by Data Loader, is not supported on Mac M1. While explicit support for the Eclipse SWT library (or lack thereof) on Mac M1 is still unknown, you may want to try running Data Loader in Intel emulation mode using Rosetta 2 to see if emulation mode enables Eclipse SWT to work correctly. Here is Apple's support article on enabling Rosetta 2:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861
Specific steps:
- Install Rosetta 2: Open Terminal and run command: softwareupdate --install-rosetta.
- Make sure you have JRE 11 or later such as Zulu OpenJDK installed on your Mac M1.
- Run the installer.command from the Data Loader folder that you downloaded. For details about this step, see https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.loader_install_mac.htm&type=5
Additional system requirements
- At least 120 MB of free disk space
- At least 256 MB of available memory (RAM)
- Zulu OpenJDK version 11 or later
Salesforce API version requirements
- 51.0 or later. You can check your org's API version by following the instructions.
Other changes
