Description: Please compile/build LibreOffice for macOS as arm64e binary rather than arm64 binary.

So 7.5 is delivered as arm64, not arm64e so setting as confirmed
Reading the release notes of Xcode 26 Beta 1 released yesterday, this info in the section Security comes to my attention, which might be additionally very helpful to know providing LibreOffice on macOS with pointer authentication enabled and shipped as arm64e binary rather than arm64 binary: Apple Developer: Xcode 26 Beta Release Notes – Section Security https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-26-release-notes#Security <quote> … Security New Features • […] • Xcode now provides an “Enhanced Security” capability, which enables additional runtime and compile-time protections for your application and builds it with pointer authentication enabled.
