I'm not being able to package an electron app for the new mac m1 chip. It says it couldn't find leveldown binaries for that system.

These are the binaries found:

Any help? Thanks :)

The ability to produce prebuilt binaries for M1 (Apple silicon) is blocked by actions/runner-images#2187.

Are you able to compile from source?

We might be able to cross-compile on an intel mac. Help is wanted, I don't own either.

I'll try to ask someone with the M1 do the npm i leveldown --build-from-source and post here the results. Thank you @vweevers

An easier option is to build "fat binaries" that work on both x64 and arm64. Here's how fsevents did it: fsevents/fsevents#350.

I can help with testing on Intel.

Testers wanted! On both Intel and M1. If you have such a machine, please run:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Level/leveldown.git
cd leveldown
git checkout apple-silicon
npm i --ignore-scripts
npm run prebuild-darwin-x64+arm64
npm run test-prebuild

I can confirm the above steps worked on Apple M1 (updated the package.json to the newly released node-gyp-build 4.3.0).
I was able to manually add the prebuild to a universal osx electron app and it seems to be working. Thanks!
