Arch not being passed correctly, prebuild doing arm64 instead of x64 (Mac)

[DanielMcAssey]

• Electron-Builder Version: 22.13.1

• Node Version: 16

• Electron Version: 10.4.7
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: Mac universal x64 DMG

Getting the following, packaging line says x64 arch, but then the build native dependency step uses arm64? I tseems like the arch is not getting passed correctly

• packaging platform=darwin arch=x64 electron=10.4.7 appOutDir=release/mac-universal--x64 • install prebuilt binary name=robotjs version=0.6.0 platform=darwin arch=arm64 napi= • execute command command=/usr/local/Cellar/node/16.11.1/bin/node /Users/danielmcassey/Repositories/woodthorpe-it/train-app/node_modules/prebuild-install/bin.js --platform=darwin --arch=arm64 --target=10.4.7 --runtime=electron --verbose --force workingDirectory=/Users/danielmcassey/Repositories/woodthorpe-it/train-app/node_modules/robotjs • build native dependency from sources name=robotjs version=0.6.0 platform=darwin arch=arm64 napi= reason=prebuild-install failed with error (run with env DEBUG=electron-builder to get more information) error=prebuild-install info begin Prebuild-install version 5.3.6 prebuild-install WARN install prebuilt binaries enforced with --force! prebuild-install WARN install prebuilt binaries may be out of date! prebuild-install info looking for cached prebuild @ /Users/danielmcassey/.npm/_prebuilds/2e8f26-robotjs-v0.6.0-electron-v82-darwin-arm64.tar.gz prebuild-install http request GET https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs/releases/download/v0.6.0/robotjs-v0.6.0-electron-v82-darwin-arm64.tar.gz prebuild-install http 404 https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs/releases/download/v0.6.0/robotjs-v0.6.0-electron-v82-darwin-arm64.tar.gz prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=10.4.7 runtime=electron arch=arm64 libc= platform=darwin)

I have the same issue. I'm trying to build for x64 on a Mac m1, it succeeds but the executable it outputs is always for arm64.

@DanielMcAssey Did you find a way around this? For now I have to use a x64 Mac to build.

[DanielMcAssey]

Unfortunately not yet, I am doing the same, using an x64 Mac to build. Makes our CI pipeline difficult

I think I recall this being an issue with app-builder-bin as I had this issue as well. My way of resolving it was ironically utilizing electron-rebuild instead. This is from my electron-builder.js

  // force arch build if using electron-rebuild
  beforeBuild: async (context) => {
    const { appDir, electronVersion, arch } = context
    await electronRebuild.rebuild({ buildPath: appDir, electronVersion, arch })
    return false
  },
  nodeGypRebuild: false,
  buildDependenciesFromSource: false,

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

build native dependency from sources name=robotjs version=0.6.0 platform=darwin arch=x64 napi= reason=prebuild-install failed with error (run with env DEBUG=electron-builder to get more information) error=prebuild-install info begin Prebuild-install version 5.3.6

I got the same issue, is there any way to solve this ?

@bbb169 try this approach? https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/6340#issuecomment-1027503443
