Does Not Work on Apple Silicon Macs

Running npm install fails at:

npm ERR! HTTPError: Response code 404 (Not Found) for https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v9.4.4/electron-v9.4.4-darwin-arm64.zip

Because v9.4.4 does not have an darwin-arm64 build

According to the docs you'll need at least electron 11.0.0.

同上更新。在package.json里面electron版本修改为 "electron": "^11.0.1" 就OK啦~

Answer 2 · 2022-02-18T16:14:09.000Z

I don't have a mac to test on. Does it work if you just roll the electron version up? I'm not quite sure what might break with that upgrade

Answer 3 · 2022-02-21T19:17:37.000Z

Updating the version to 11.0.1 works.

Answer 4 · 2022-02-21T19:57:21.000Z

How can I do that?

@DeEskalator in package.json file, update the electron version to 11.0.1 and run -> npm install

I tried out 11.0.1 just now and it looks like it does sub-pixel rendering by default. Which causes the results to have a color to them. I wonder how to turn that off.

@dropocol Thanks man! This fixed it

Answer 8 · 2023-10-16T12:14:08.000Z

I can confirm that electron 11 works on mac silicon. Versions 9 or 10 don't.

Just to add a bit of context, according to https://www.electronjs.org/blog/apple-silicon they Electron has support for M1 Macs (Apple Silicon) added from version 11.0.0-beta.1 upwards.
