Build on master / tag 7.0.4 is broken because of nw-builder

I'm forced to build from sources on Mac OS Ventura as the pre-built binary does not run and generates a crash dump (has been the case with previous versions of Mac OS as well). I was able to get it to work by compiling from source about 5 months ago on Mac OS 12 (Monterey). But after upgrading to Mac OS 13 (Ventura), the system was unable to detect the Arduino board. So I wanted to see if rebuild will work.

Steps:

git clone followed by git checkout 7.0.4
prepare --all
build --platform=desktop/osx/64 (also tried --platform=desktop)

the following error is observed during build:

======= Asking nwbuilder to build Snap4Arduino for osx64 =======

src/platforms/desktop/osx/64/build: line 36: environments/node_modules/nw-builder/bin/nwbuild: No such file or directory mv: rename releases/desktop/Snap4Arduino/osx64/* to releases/desktop/osx/64/*: No such file or directory

prepare --all seems to be pulling in the following:

(13:50): npm ls nw-builder nw-builder@4.0.0-rc.8 ~/git/arduino/Snap4Arduino/environments/node_modules/nw-builder └── (empty) `(~/git/arduino/Snap4Arduino/environments/node_modules/nw-builder)` (13:50): ls -l total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 ~ ~~ 2011 Nov 13 13:36 README.md -rw-r--r-- 1 ~ ~~ 2205 Nov 13 13:36 package.json drwxr-xr-x 7 ~ ~~ 224 Nov 13 13:36 src drwxr-xr-x 3 ~ ~~ 96 Nov 13 13:36 test

As can be seen, there is no bin/nwbuild under nw-builder. Tried downgrading nw-builder to 3.8.2, didn't help -- it seems the changes in src/platforms/desktop/build line 36 are incompatible with older versions of nw-builder:

# environments/node_modules/nw-builder/bin/nwbuild -v 0.34.5 -p $platform tmp -o releases/desktop environments/node_modules/nw-builder/bin/nwbuild -p $platform tmp -o releases/desktop

Any help in fixing any of the problems above is much appreciated. Kid is blocked on this for completing a school project.

Thanks!
