Question How to download Silicon builds from Hub 3.0

I would like to download the Silicon version of Unity Editor 2021.2.6f1. How can I do it via Unity Hub 3.0?

The Download Archive page only lists unityhub:// links for the Intel version. I understand that I can download the binary and then manually add it to Hub but that is what I would like to avoid - it adds extra steps, the .pkg doesn't normally have the necessary permissions to start etc.

The Hub allows me to download 2021.2.7f1 but that version is not yet available on Unity Cloud Build so it doesn't help me either (besides we haven't upgraded our project to 2021.2.7f1 yet).

 

According to release notes, it should be possible to install a Silicon editor using CLI:

But I couldn't find anywhere in the CLI documentation how to specify architecture. This doesn't work:

 

Is there perhaps a magic unityhub:// link that could be used to download a Silicon editor?

 

You can manually download the arm64 version from here:
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive
I have the exact opposite problem of yours, I want to install only the arm64 version of the Editor without using the Hub. I want to use only pure Apple Silicon binaries.

 

Trying to download older silicon versions, greets me with an "Access denied" error.
I tried downloading the 2020.3.21 version for apple silicon.
It seems to happen to all 2020 versions.
This is the error message:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. <Error>
3. <Code>AccessDenied</Code>
4. <Message>Access denied.</Message>
5. <Details>Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to the Google Cloud Storage object. Permission 'storage.objects.get' denied on resource (or it may not exist).</Details>
6. </Error>
7.  

 

It's working, thank you!

In case someone missed it, when you click a unityhub:// link in the download archives, it opens a popup in Unity Hub which lets you select which version (Apple or Intel) you wish to install.
