First, thank you for supporting this useful extension on VSCode.

Switching my workstation to Mac OS M1, the extension is no longer available for usage, maybe due to the different architecture.

@yuribreion1 The arm64 architecture is not supported by db2connect extension. An idea for this support is opened against IBM: https://ibm-data-and-ai.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/DB2CON-I-92 . You can upvote or add comment their.

But, we have workaround for it. If you install Intel Chip version of vscode on your Mac OS M1 system, you can install db2connect extension and it would work without any issue. Thanks.

Trying to run from intel did not work for me. See my comments below https://ibmzxplore.influitive.com/forum/t/db2-connection-not-working/629/12
