@podycust,
We tried to reproduce mono_libgdiplus not being available when using Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET 23.7. The problem does not occur. We tested in macOS x86_64 12.6.7, mono_libgdiplus 6.1.1 (6.1.2) environment. Please write what version of macOS you have, and what the brew list mono-libgdiplus command returns.
Regarding support for macOS arm64, we are already at the final stage. We are trying to make macOS arm64 support available in Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET 23.8.
from an intel Mac running that command I get:
/usr/local/Cellar/mono-libgdiplus/6.1_2/lib/libgdiplus.0dylib
/usr/local/Cellar/mono-libgdiplus/6.1_2/lib/pkgconfig/libgdiplus.pc
/usr/local/Cellar/mono-libgdiplus/6.12/lib/(2otherfiles)
its running macOS 12.6.3
@podycust,
Thank you for the details. We are continuing to work on the issue and will get back to you soon.
@podycust,
Unfortunately, we were unable to reproduce the problem you described. You can try to reinstall mono-libgdiplus as follows:
brew uninstall mono-libgdiplus
brew install mono-libgdiplus
If the issue persists, we need more information about your environment.
Any updates on arm64 support?
@podycust,
The issue has been blocked by another issue. Unfortunately, I don’t have any additional information yet.
Ok thanks. What’s the other blocking issue?
@podycust,
I’ve requested information from our development team. We will let you know as soon as possible.
@podycust,
We are using the cs2python wrapper tool to create Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET. Currently, cs2python does not support arm64-based macOS.
Ok thanks.
Do you have a link to that tool as I can’t seem to find it?
If it’s open source might be possible to add support for arm64 macOS easily
@podycust,
I am waiting for information from our developers for you. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
Any updates?
@podycust,
I’ve requested information from our developers and will inform you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

@podycust,
The issue is still blocked by another issue. Unfortunately, I don’t have additional information yet. We apologize for any inconvenience.
yes that works on arm64 
tho still have libgdiplus issues tho!
any plans to move away from using the system.drawing namespace on non-windows platforms? as Microsoft no longer support it on newer .net anyway on non-windows platforms
