Hi, thank you for your report, and sorry for the inconvenience.

This should be fixed by NativePHP/electron#153 which is not released yet.

In the meantime, try to build each version separately:

php artisan native:build Mac arm64

then

php artisan native:build Mac x86

Tell me if it fixes your problem 😉

For now with intel processors, works!!!
But, with Apple keeps failing... This time I got the screenshot

If you have a 500 error, you should be able to know why in Laravel.log

Can you look ?

How can i reach laravel.log in a production app???
Its weird, in the same computer native:serve works fine, but installed app runs on that error...

It'll be found in ~/Library/Application Support on Mac. You'll need to find your applications directory and go into it.

[avazquez-bit]

We dont see any folder related to app on that directory... Even "500 server error" in window style is diferente to other 500 errors screens triggered by laravel

In the mac with intel processor in wich production app installed run with the given commands, the samvatracking folder exists but with M2 processor mac, this folder does not exist (the screenshoot is from this device)

[PeteBishwhip]

This indicates that your app is not able to write to that directory, causing issues. Logs should usually be stored there: https://nativephp.com/docs/desktop/1/getting-started/debugging#check-the-logs

[avazquez-bit]

Ok, let me check with other device and secure configurations in device with intel processor to replicate in apple processor

[gwleuverink]

Hey! It could also be you're looking in the wrong directory.

The screenshot shows /Library. But I believe it should be in /Users/user/Library

[avazquez-bit]

Nope, there is nothing related to the app, it seems to be just a level above, Application Support appears here.

If I copy the folder from mac where app correctly installed and put it in mac where app is not running you think this could help???

[avazquez-bit]

We have compile and install successfully in a device with apple processor, let me try tomorrow with another devices, to ensure work properly in the same mac in wich failed before and others too.

But for now, it seems to work, if can be installed an runs propely in other mac devices whitout trouble, I'll close this issue

thank you very much for help!!!!
