Macos cannot be used about kando HOT 9 CLOSED

@Schneegans I cloned your repo and made a PR that uses FlyCI's MacOS runners. The results are fantastic!

For comparison, your standard MacOS PR workflow runs in about 3 min 8 seconds, while the same MacOS PR workflow runs in 51 seconds using FlyCI's M1 runner.

Here is Kando's MacOS PR workflow on GitHub MacOS runner:

@kgantchev Thanks for the pointer, I'll check this out!

I am not sure if there is a way to properly cross-compile native node modules from an Intel Mac to a M1 Mac. Instead, I now tried building the binaries on one of GitHub's large macOS runners which run on actual M1 hardware as far as I know.

This costs some money, but it could be the most robust solution. Can anyone of you test whether the binaries in this test release work on M1?

Hi there! Thanks for the report. Is this the arm64 built on an Apple Chip?

As I do not have such hardware at hand, I cannot test this. But if you have some developer experience, we could try to make this work together! Would it be possible for you to build Kando from source following the instructions in the README?

Same issue as OP; using arm64 build. Interestingly enough, the regular Intel x64 version DOES work on M1 through Rosetta. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the precompiled arm64 binary and not the m1 processor.

Can confirm! The arm64 build doesn't work on macOS M1. Looks like the included node_modules dependencies are compiled for amd64, instead of for arm64.

just gave this test release a go and it now launches

Thanks for the feedback! I just "rebranded" the test to v0.4.1.

@Schneegans Hi, I'm the CEO and co-founder of FlyCI. You can also try the FlyCI's M1 and M2 runners which are on average about 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's runners. We offer a free tier of 500 mins/month on the M1 runner. If you're looking for more performance, then definitely try our xlarge M1 and M2 runners.

Easily replace your M1 runners:

Exclusive M2 runners:

We'll be very happy to have you on board.
