Request for AirGap Vault to consider M1 Macs a valid platform to run on #118

As it stands now, if one attempts to use the AirGap Vault iPhone or iPad app on a M1 Mac, under MacOS, the app assumes the device it is on is rooted, and will not run. Would it be possible to have AirGap Vault check if it is running on macOS, and if so allow it to run, perhaps with a warning that a general purpose desktop isn't as secure as an iOS device?

One can tell if an iOS app is running under macOS by getting the full path of the app's Documents folder, and if it is something like /Users/username/Library/Containers/app-string/Data/Documents instead of being in /var/mobile, it is almost certainly running on a Mac.

It would be nice to have an offline Mac as an option for Vault storage.

Thank you kindly for your time.
