What is ude-mac-arm64?

This project makes a Turkish government document editor called UDE (Uyap Dokuman Editoru) run natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4 chips) without needing Rosetta, Apple's translation layer for older software. The official UDE package was built for Intel processors, so on Apple Silicon it either runs slowly through Rosetta or does not work correctly at all. This patch rebuilds and repackages it so it runs as a true native arm64 application. The project does not distribute a ready-to-use application. Instead, it provides a build script and a single terminal command you paste and run. That command downloads the official UDE installer from the Turkish government's website, applies the patch on top of it, bundles a compatible version of Java so you do not need to install anything separately, and places the finished app in your Applications folder. Double-clicking any .udf document file will open it directly in the app. A notable feature the patch restores is electronic signature support. The original smart card detection was broken on Apple Silicon because the bundled Java could not find the system's card reader library. The fix embeds the correct library path into the app's launch configuration so it is always applied when the app starts, letting the full signing workflow complete without errors. Beyond compatibility, the patch includes several quality-of-life improvements for Mac users. It swaps the original toolbar icons for a modern Material icon set that renders sharply on Retina displays. It adds pinch-to-zoom behavior via a Command-key plus two-finger scroll gesture, since the original editor had no trackpad zoom. It also remaps keyboard shortcuts from the Windows-style Ctrl-based layout to the standard Mac Command-based equivalents for bold, italic, copy, paste, undo, and similar actions. To update to a newer version of UDE, you run the same single install command again. The script fetches the latest release, applies the patch fresh, and replaces the app in your Applications folder. The project is unofficial and unaffiliated with any Turkish government agency.
