[mac] brew package update for darwin-arm64

[AdamCoulterOz]

I understand that previously we've had to go to security preferences and allow the app, but that doesn't apply on this binary (it says the package is damaged and doesn't show up in security preferences). Although the following command does work.

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/google-chat-electron.app

also... I have a PR for adding the arm64 package on brew, it works only if you add the --no-quarantine flag or run the explicit xattr command... I've added that as a brew cask package caveats statement, hopefully you won't get as many people wasting your time.

Huge thanks.

Homebrew may not allow to remove quarantine flag :(

@ankurk91 It looks like there is actually a problem with the signature. Hence why it says the package is damaged and not just from an unknown developer.

If you have a M1 Machine, can you build and run the arm app on your local?

Install node.js v16.14.x and pnpm v6.32.x first.

git clone https://github.com/ankurk91/google-chat-electron
cd google-chat-electron
pnpm install

npm run pack:mac
npm run pack:mac-arm

npm run build:mac-zip
npm run build:mac-arm-zip

You must see 2 apps in your dist folder, try to run app from ./dist/google-chat-electron-darwin-arm64/.

According to this comment, we should able to produce arm build on Intel machines as well https://github.com/ankurk91/google-chat-electron/pull/73#issuecomment-1067115137

And this is what we are doing via GitHub Actions as GH Actions does not have arm runners yet.

I don't have a M1 Machine to verify the build signature.

[AdamCoulterOz]

I am on an M1 ... I'll run it for you.

[AdamCoulterOz]

Still getting this...

adam@Adams-MacBook-Pro ~ % cd /Volumes/Code/GitHub/ankurk91/google-chat-electron/dist/google-chat-electron-darwin-arm64                         
adam@Adams-MacBook-Pro google-chat-electron-darwin-arm64 % codesign -v -f  google-chat-electron.app
google-chat-electron.app: code has no resources but signature indicates they must be present

[ankurk91]

Thanks, need to figureout, what is wrong here. The build script is very easy to read and understand.

[AdamCoulterOz]

Do you have an Apple developer account? You need one to code sign, regardless if you submit for notarisation.

[ankurk91]

No I dont have, I don't even have a physical Mac machine, I use VM to test the app :)

I used to have Mac book pro in past. But switched to Dell, since repairing the Mac book was not cheap.

Initially, I build this app for my Linux machine but later people asked for Mac build too

[AdamCoulterOz]

I think the only way to fix this is with an apple developer account. I think apple have changed something with self signed certificates for Apple arm64 binaries.

[ankurk91]

I think this issue will remain un-resolved, since i will never going to buy apple developer account ($99) for a open source project.
