• All platforms: [PS-1197] Add pkg arm64 targets for windows, mac, and linux #2976
• Linux: [PM-5420] feat: arm64 build for bw cli #7338

📔 Objective

It has been years since arm64 became the standard for macs, and this PR aims to tweak the build ci workflow to release binaries for that architecture. It releases two new binaries: bw-macos-arm64-*.zip and bw-oss-macos-arm64-*.zip .

It uses macos-14 github runner to build the binaries.

Here is a successful run of this new build script for reference: https://github.com/jomifepe/clients/actions/runs/10050097941.

Who benefits from this?

Everyone who wants to install the CLI on modern macs (e.g. macbooks since 2020). The official site points you to npm for arm64, requiring you to install node, but makes x64 binaries available to download.

I hope this doesn't get ignored like the previous attempts.

I know the CLI is low priority, but is there any other reason why this would not be desirable?

@djsmith85 Any chance this will move forward?

Hi @jomifepe,

Thank you for your contribution. I only found one thing that needs to change:

• The Build & Package Unix step (Line 108) should include target_suffix.

npm run dist:${{ matrix.license_type.build_prefix }}:${{ env.SHORT_RUNNER_OS }}${{ matrix.os.target_suffix }} --quiet
