Native ARM build for macOS

Describe the solution you'd like

Can you release native ARM builds for macOS ? Since all the macs since 2020 use M chips, and there will be more and more, until the total disappearance of the intel based ones. I don't know if ARM macs are in the majority today but it's only a matter of time, so... it would be great

Hi @maxfaa, thanks for the suggestion! I think if we upgrade our CI/CD runner from macos-12 to macos-14, we'll do our builds with macOS Sonoma with M1. Are you interested in making a pull request with this contribution?

Excellent suggestion!

I think we should make both an Intel and an ARM build.

[danyeaw]

If we were to do both, should we have the full build pipeline run for both?

[amolenaar]

I think we should.

Then we can distribute both an -intel and a -arm dmg.

BTW. What would be the right term? -arm, -apple-silicon, -m1, or something else?

We may also want to have a look at the Homebrew cask for Gaphor and make pick the right architecture. (example: powershell)
