Hello, in what stage is development of Universal/Native M1 binary for Joplin?

Afaik none of the devs have a Mac with an M2 chip. This makes testing a bit complicated. I also do not know, if the gh build pipeline supports M1 yet. I also don't know how the upstream support is for that. I know that electron-builder allows us to set the target for ARM64. Not sure what happens, i…

Thanks for the reply. I'm too definitely for the separate dedicated binaries. Universal build just takes more space and "the other" binary is rather useless. Rosetta2 is fine and in most cases there are no significant performace advantages, but there are still some difficulties or negatives in tha…

Hi,If usefull, I have a M1 Mac, and I am ready to run tests on y machine once a M1 Joplin version is produced by a dev Bruno

For that we have to upgrade Electron first.

The app-desktop now builds on the M1. I am able to use this. However, the app-cli does not. Are there any plans for getting this ported to the M1?

Thanks for the info, could you tell us (even in a few words), the specials steps needed to do so?

I don't know much about the JS ecosystem, else I'd have led the fix. From what I understand, from the little I've seen, it's not building on the M1. One way to check this is to attempt starting the app-cli ╰─❯ npm install postinstall npm run bootstrap --no-ci && npm run build bootstrap ler…

Remembering how NPM handles files, I thought this was an NPM-specific issue, so I tried using Yarn to install Joplin. yarn global add joplin This errors out when it tries to find the vips/vips.h file. This is needed by lovell/sharp for image manipulation. — seeing that this is a CLI app, I don't s…
