PHP is not running after upgrade MacOS Big Sur on Apple Macbook Pro M1

Another problem I always face after upgrading MacOS where PHP is not running anymore. I have to google to find solution. Now I decided to write step by step tutorial so easy for my future reference and hopefully can help others who face the same thing.

1) My phpMyAdmin instead of showing login page, it displays its PHP code.

Apple Macbook Pro M1 MacOS Big Sur – Missing xcrun after MacOS Update

I always face missing xcrun when I use command “git pull” after MacOS update where the OS will update xcode.

To solve this problem just install back the xcode-select via the command line.

A window will appear whether to continue to install. Just click install.

It takes around 5 minutes to download the file.

Apple Macbook Pro M1 chip Fail to Play My iPhone Games Doorman Story

I bought an Apple Macbook Pro M1 in 2nd week of December, 202o. I was excited because know it can play iPad or iPhone games thanks to M1 chip which is similar like iPhone and iPad ARM chip.

At first after downloading my favorite game Doorman Story, I could play it.

When I wanted to play second time, it produced error as shown in the image. Second time here means, I switched off my Macbook Pro then on it again.

It is really frustrating as the game won’t load even after few on and off the MacBook. Even after re-installing it doesn’t work.  I haven’t try other iPad or iPhone app though.
