Any word of native Apple Silicon support? Couldn't find anything on the website, nor in this or the old app repo? Apologies if I missed it.

Hi, mtslzr

The new Boost Note next is written in the almost latest version of Electron and Electron will soon support the Apple Silicon so it should not be a problem to build the app for Apple Silicon too (found info about this here: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/apple-silicon, might be outdated).

Boostnote legacy is similar but the version of the electron is very outdated, so don't know how many changes would be needed.

👍 @Komediruzecki I can summit a PR to enable CI build for apple silicon. Could you point me to any reference / document that I could start with? Thanks

Hi, tuannvm,

unfortunatelly I didn't really work only any Github related CI building, and in general I don't think its needed.
For building the application however for releases is another story, but that too is more of a @Rokt33r responsibility, so he can point you in needed direction if you want to contribute.

@tuannvm Sorry we are still working on providing a development environment for external contributors. But I think I can fix it easily by adding arm64 to arch for our macOS packaging configuration.
