Garmin is not the first to wait for final OS releases before releasing compatible versions of their software.

There’s your problem right there. Just one reason not to install beta software. Until Garmin get their act together you’re SOOL. 

They have had 6 years to make an apple silicone compatible Garmin Express to be fair.

Apple Silicone compatibility is not relevant to this thread.

The poster can't install on a modern Mac which uses apple silicon. Therefore it is everything thing to do with apple silicone. Intel macs have been out of production for years now and Garmin still use an intel code base which is what is causing the issue. Next month Garmin connect will be incompatible with macs that upgrade to the newest osx version. 

The poster can't install on a Mac running a beta version of macOS. Installing works fine on the last regular version of macOS on Apple Silicon.

It won't be beta from next month. The issue isn't support for intel based apps is changing and Garmin after 6 years hasn't made an apple silicone app. So I guess we have this discussion next month when my Mac says express will stop working? Or we can prod Garmin to fix it proactively not retroactively. The fact that it's beta is irrelevant in this case as it's due to a change 6 years in the making. 

Id normally agree that beta software breaks stuff, but this is literally a computer language change and Garmin have had several years to update but they haven't
