Description

Development of Elite Dangerous on macOS ended over half a decade ago. Recent changes to the macOS NSSound API may have resulted in EDMC no longer functioning. There is no functional manner to play Elite on macOS natively, and known macOS users have reported using Wine and the distributed EXEs to utilize EDMC and Elite.

This removes all references to macOS from the code ("Darwin") and simplifies/deprecates functions, translations, and other works as relevant. This also has the added benefit of significantly simplifying some aspects of code which will make future changes much easier.

This should not significantly impact the user experience on any other platform. This will require a documentation update on the Wiki.

Type of change

  • Enhancement
  • Bug fix by removal
  • UI Conversion of Some Elements

How has this been tested?

  • Tested on available development environments to ensure no/minimal changes to the UI are generated.

There are a handful of logic changes that need to be checked and a few other more minor comments, the rest looks good.
