Electron will not recompile on Mac (Apple Silicon)

[bobaronoff]

Unable to install Electron or ElectronDisplay on my MacBook.
The issue seems to be electrons_app - not quite sure what this is ...

Message:

I encountered the same issue.

@bobaronoff @CiaranOMara
If you are using Electron@3.1.2 because of DataVoyager, you need to copy the new section for Apple arm64 from the most recent Artifacts.toml, this:

[[electronjs_app]]
arch = "aarch64"
git-tree-sha1 = "12f3018147190ddc494f686e5fbefe8d84f16efb"
os = "macos"

    [[electronjs_app.download]]
    sha256 = "72dc4950584d28e47bc7cbbfb51382061cd438ad0f91c2e640ce07738841ccd7"
    url = "https://github.com/davidanthoff/ElectronBuilder/releases/download/v19.0.9%2B0/ElectronJS-19.0.9+0-aarch64-apple-darwin14.tar.gz"

And paste it in your local Artifacts.toml file which is located somewhere in ~/.julia/packages/Electron . Then, try ]precompile Electron and ]precompile DataVoyager in the Julia REPL.

This gets the packages to precompile but I haven't tested if DataVoyager works as intended yet.
You can probably force DataVoyager to use the most recent Electron version but I don't know how to do that.

Thank you!
