Add Windows on ARM release

Open nikwen opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

I've started using Windows 11 on arm64. It would be nice if we started releasing arm64 executables of Fiddle.

The x64 emulation is slow.

We actually purposely don't ship these at the moment, see #1071.

Goes back to an old unresolved issue (electron/update.electronjs.org#107) which caused the wrong arch to be downloaded during updates. Was easier to just remove WoA here, as the issue is still unresolved (AFAIK) on that repo.

@dsanders11 Thanks for the pointer! Damn, that's an ugly issue.

A solution could be switching to a custom upgrade server, which can be implemented in 2-3 hours.

I think it's good to dogfood electron/update.electronjs.org for Fiddle, as it helps force our hands for issues like this which would otherwise be easier to ignore for busy maintainers. I agree it's an ugly issue, and it's something we really should resolve so that we can flip these back on here and fix the issue for all the apps which use that repo.
