Hi, I have the same issue, but not with forge. I am trying to package the application on M1 chip with exactly the same error. I know, that it is not informative at all, but just telling, that it might be not the forge.

In my case it stops with

  • rebuilding native dependency  name=cpu-features version=0.0.9
  • cannot build optional native dependency  name=cpu-features
                                             version=0.0.9
                                             cause=exit status 1

@alexandrbig I moved some steps forward by upgrading electron to 29.x.

I ran into other problems than (mostly node packages compiled with the wrong node version), but most of that was solvable by running npm rebuild on the corresponding packages.

I was able to build a Universal Binary DMG package with that yesterday, although fixing all that stuff step by step and waiting several minutes each time for the next error message was quite tedious.
