Bug title Can not get the wallet working on Apple Silicon M1

Bug description Wallet (GUI) starts, I go through all the steps (new wallet, or restore existing), and then it is just stuck. In log file, I see Requesting block 0-0000000000000000 and no further messages

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Run MAC wallet on Apple Silicon M1 mac
2. New wallet or restore wallet

Current behaviour Stuck on Requesting block 0-0000000000000000 in log file. Now syncing.

Expected behaviour Should be working and syncing.

Platform and build

• Mac
• OS Latest
• BEAM MAC wallet binary from Github

Try to add a default peeer in the configuration file:

peer=eu-nodes.mainnet.beam.mw:8100

"settings.ini" file should be located in beam folder in AppData/Local. I don't know the equivalent for Apple.

done that, no change. Yes, Apple Silicon M1 is running MacOS, just not on x64 hardware but on aarch64. It's the new macbooks and mac mini which came beginning 2021. So settings.ini same location as any x64 Mac.

might be a big sur, security issue, have to allow it as an unsigned app

I downloaded again the Desktop wallet from https://beam.mw/downloads/mainnet-mac. Started it again, and checked the Security & Privacy window for the message you mentioned. No such message. Wallet still does not sync. Tried to download beam-node only, and run in from command line. No luck. ./beam-node --help zsh: killed ./beam-node --help
