Description:
Tried this many times but the mysql-8.0.26-macos11-arm64.pkg but after the installer dmg loads up and then you are prompted with the Allow/Cancel it then freezes with the spinning wheel. I tried with the mysql-8.0.26 non ARM version and it works. I'm using Mac OS 11.5 on a Apple Silicon M1

How to repeat:
Just launch the mysql-8.0.26-macos11-arm64.dmg

Hello Jeff Tiedemann,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
From the internal discussion, we discovered that this is indeed an issue with the build.

Regards,

This is also true for the intel install, as soon as the main install finishes.  It never makes it to the Configuration section before it freezes with the spinning wheel.  (on Catalina 10.15.7 - MacBook Pro - mid 2012)  So in effect, it seems like there is no workable Mac installer for the product.  Wouldn't this be a showstopper thing?

Oh, I forgot to mention.  The install never does display the selection page that let's you include the Preferences Pane.  I only know about it from reading web articles.  Never does show up.  Sorry I didn't mention that above.

I am also wondering if and how this can be resolved. I have just tried installing 8.0.33 and it hangs just before the configuration step.
