Hi,
This can't be right. Is there really no replacement for Quartz Debug?!?
As the sole developer on a project who has an Intel Mac and Quartz Debug, I am basically a god now.
Everyone else has Apple Silicon and... I think they're randomly guessing at this point.
Because I have entire teams sending me Intel Mac builds of stuff just so I can test it in QD.
This is THE TOOL we used at NewTek to find performance issues, and THE TOOL I used for a dozen companies after that, to help them with similar issues.
If there's no replacement, is there a reason there's no replacement? This feels like a massive step backwards, having to guess at problems like this.
