If Hunspell supposedly cannot not run on the macOS/ARM platform, then
how come I am successfully using the Hunspell add-on together with XXE

us to install Hunspell on the macOS/ARM platform?
I don't see how 'hunspell--Mac OS X-x86_64.jar' and 'jna--Mac OS X.jar'
containing code compiled for an Intel processor could work on an ARM
processor.
May be you have installed Rosetta 2 and that this code translator does
its magic behind the scene.
We do not want to force our Mac/M1 users to install Rosetta 2 on their
Macs. Therefore, for now[1], the "Hunspell spell checker" add-on will
stay officially unavailable on Mac/M1. Sorry.

I will definitely give the XMLmind Spell Checker a new chance. But
please don't remove Hunspell from the macOS/ARM platform unless
absolutely necessary ...!
The "Hunspell spell checker" add-on may still be easily downloaded and
installed using the links and instructions found in this page:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons.shtml#spellCheckerPlugin
(A version compatible with XXE v10 should be released tomorrow.)
Moreover, we made changes to the XXE add-on manager to make it take
the macOS/ARM platform into account.
Unless we made a bug, the "Hunspell Spell Checker" will not be found
in the list of available add-ons when you'll use "Options|Install
Add-ons" on a Mac having an M1 processor.
I can confirm that Hunspell Spell Checker did not come up as an
available add-on.
Thank you for this confirmation.
