macOS Intel installs ARM on auto-update

• Electron-Builder Version: 22.11.4
• Electron-Updater Version: 4.6.5

• Node Version: v16.13.2

• Electron Version: 17.0.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: macos

This issue was reported before, saying that 4.3.7 would have resolved the issue made me upgrade to 4.6.5 for electron-updater. I tried building locally and updating it which initially worked but testing it from an official release broke the app yet again.

What else could I try to fix this issue? The repo is https://github.com/lostdesign/linked The error occurs in tag 1.4.9, 1.4.10 and 1.4.11 - removed m1 in tag 1.4.12 and everything works as expected again obvs.

        mac: {
          hardenedRuntime: true,
          entitlements: './build/entitlements.mac.inherit.plist',
          // Disabled m1 due to it messing with the auto updating
          //target: {
          //  target: 'default',
          //  arch: ['arm64', 'x64']
          //}
        },

Thanks in advance!

Just curious, why not use arch: 'universal' for a single build?

What does that do @mmaietta ? I explicitly listed both as I came across that in other repos and thought you do need to handle them differently.

edit: Just checked https://github.com/electron/universal and guess I won’t use universal since that would make the app 400mb big 👀

@moloch-- no sorry, it is not possible to manually provide an updater config. Happy to review a PR if you’d like to contribute to that functionality!

Closing this issue since multiple people are reporting it fixed in the latest version
