[Feature] Native app release for Apple Silicon.

Is there an existing request for feature?

• I have searched the existing issues

What feature would you like?

Apple has not announced a specific date for discontinuing Rosetta 2, but it is expected that support may eventually end as the company continues to transition away from Intel-based Macs. Please consider releasing native app for Apple Silicon.

Anything else?

Thank you for the link and update. Sorry, is the https://github.com/oxen-io/ the repo we should create issue or here? Looks like both have a release for desktop with the same date.

@uncharted-user Here is the right place. We are in the process of migrating all of our repos. 👍

@pashynskykh Didn't make as much progress as I would like but just to let you know what I got up to and what still needs to be done.

1. Working on a PR for session desktop with alpha updates support via a new debug menu
   • New Debug menu
   • UI for swapping release channels is done now need to do logic
2. PR for Session Fileserver to fetch alpha updates currently it only supports the standard update channel
3. PR for Github Actions
   • Support macOS Arm64 builds on regular and alpha releases [unmerged branch but tested]
   • Separate upload artefacts for each architecture when github action finishes the job. Alternatively run separate jobs.
