I am attempting to build the desktop app with a view to submitting a pull request.
I am following the BUILD.md guide.
When I run cd packages/app-desktop then yarn start Electron opens but there is an error in the console:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '/home/jp/joplin/packages/app-desktop/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/napi-v6-darwin-unknown-arm64/node_sqlite3.node'

This is on an M1 Mac.
Instead of napi-v6-darwin-unknown-arm64 I have an napi-v6-darwin-unknown-x64 directory.
So it seems that Joplin is using the correct architecture, arm64, but yarn has installed the wrong one.
I am unfamiliar with how yarn chooses which architecture to install.
Has anyone successfully built Joplin on an M1 Mac?
Thanks for contributing to a great app!
