Requesting node-sass module with native Mac ARM or Universal build support

Hi,

This is regarding node-sass module used in our project. We are migrating our application for having native support on Mac ARM platforms and see that node-sass being Intel only binary, we are unable to migrate to Mac ARM due to the dependency on node-sass Intel binary which fails to compile with Node ARM. Hence we request you to help us with node-sass package with native ARM or Universal binary to successfully build our app with native Mac ARM support.

Please let us know in case you are looking for any additional info from our side. Awaiting your kind response on helping us getting unblocked with the behavior where node-sass doesn't work with the ARM version of Node runtime. We do not intend to use Rosetta as we require app to be supported natively on Mac ARM platforms without any dependency on Rosetta.

We see this issue request could be related to the ticket #3033 which is still in Open state.

Thanks,
Nayan

Hi @nschonni,

Thanks for your response. We are unable to add a comment for requesting support in the tracking ticket #3033, hence we created a new ticket for your kind consideration of our request. It will be helpful if we can know any tentative timeline by when node-sass team could help us with native compatible support on Mac ARM platform.

Have a pleasant day!

Regards,
Nayan

Nothing has moved in terms of GitHub Actions supporting a CI runtime for Apple ARM, so there is no update or tentative timeline from the last discussion when we locked that issue

Hi @nschonni,

Thanks for your kind response. We requested Github Actions via this ticket https://support.github.com/ticket/personal/0/2202059 and they have responded as below:

For now, you'll need to use self-hosted runners if you require ARM-based runners.

The Github Actions team does have plans to support ARM-based GitHub-hosted runners but I do not have a timeline for when that will be implemented. You can keep an eye on the Changelog section of our blog where we announce such updates.

Hence can you please have a look at self-hosted runners if this shall suffice our requirement else we can further follow-up on the Github Actions ticket for further help in accomplishing our request so that we can get unblocked with node-sass module which is currently blocking our application to migrate to native Mac ARM without having dependency on Rosetta.

Have a pleasant day!

Regards,
Nayan

We have no capacity to self-host runners, which is why that other issue is stalled.
