GodMode: Unable to install and run beta-1 / beta-2 on Intel based mac

I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel processor.
I was able to successfully install and run the beta-0 release of GodMode, but later beta versions (beta-1 and 2) fail to start up on my machine.

The smol-menubar releases(v0.0.17) seem to work without issue. It appears to be a problem specific to the main GodMode app in releases after beta-1.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install GodMode beta-0 - runs successfully
  • Install GodMode beta-1/2 - app fails to launch

I've tried:

  • Deleting previous GodMode installs before installing new version
  • Installing GodMode-beta-1/2 after installing beta-0.
  • Deleting previous menubar installs before installing new version
SCR-20230821-mffv SCR-20230821-mfkb

I used these release files:
https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.2/GodMode.1.0.0-beta.2.dmg
https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.1/GodMode.1.0.0-beta.1.dmg

Can confirm. When looking at the .app in the release dmg (GodMode.1.0.0-beta.2.dmg), it looks like the binary under the MacOS folder is for arm64.

❯ file GodMode
GodMode: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

It could be this error in package.json under the package build target info for macOS:

                         "arch": [
					"arm64",
					"'universal",
					"x64"
				]

("universal" has a single quote at the beginning)

Hey @anugrahsinghal (and all) can you try installing the universal build: https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.3/GodMode-1.0.0-beta.3-universal.dmg

I was just able to get this running on my 2017 MacBook Pro w/ Intel. LMK if this version works for you!

@seanoliver Working on my 2019 Intel Mac!

Hey @seanoliver
Can confirm that the universal build works on my Intel Mac too.

Thanks for the additional release.

@seanoliver Thanks for the release. Would you be able to do the same for the newest version v1.0.0-beta.4? There's an annoying bug (#168) that I would like to get rid of. Cheers.

Can't run the universal build as the macbook complains of it not being verifiable.
