arm64 version of MediaWriter for macOS

[sebdanielsson]

Are there any plans to release MediaWriter for macOS with proper support for Apple Silicon/arm64?

Best regards Sebastian

I suppose we could? @grulja, what do you think? I believe we can build this as a Universal binary for x86_64 and aarch64 on an Intel Mac, we just have to tweak things for that.

+1 to the request. I am not able to use the media writer from the m1

Yes, they are not arm64 builds.

Just tried the latest dev build. Still running with Rosetta.

Here's a test build that should run natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Would be great if someone with an Apple Silicon Mac could try it out. https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter/suites/17860809465/artifacts/1026120213
