Current behavior

Emulated in 32 bit windows emulator

Expected behavior

A native build would be great since Electron recently added 64 bit support for ARM64 :)
Load in ARM64, however, it loads in the emulation layer, leading to a lack of battery loss.

Steps to reproduce

Are the binaries open to compile it for ARM64, so that there can be unofficial releases.

Environment

ARM64 for Windows10

Desktop/Web

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0
  • OS version and name: Windows 10

I don't have an arm64 windows pc. But I'm sure that adding arm64 to arch should work. Do you think you can test the building?

  1. Add arm64 to here https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote.next/blob/master/package.json#L250-L253
  2. Create .env file and set BOOST_HUB_BASE_URL=https://boostnote.io.
  3. Run these scripts
npm run build:electron
npm run prepack

Then you will get an executable so you can run it in your pc.

Hi, yes it works

-> Tested on M1 Mac w the M1 Chip.. Is there a way to fix that?

However, there are signing issues, but I believe that is due to the unofficial port that we would be building is that right?

@justrach Thanks for testing then we should provide build for arm64 too.

Tested on M1 Mac w the M1 Chip.. Is there a way to fix that?

https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/5426 seems electron builder is supporting the apple silicon chip so I think we can try the same trick on M1 Mac.
