flameshot on m1 mac?

[DeveloperKev]

Feature Description

Hi, i used to use flameshot on parrot. it was a massive boost. recenlty, i switched to mac, and there's no native build for apple silicon. i mean, lot of people should be able to contribute in every way. everyone is porting their builds, maybe it should re-considered. regards.

people should be able to contribute in every way.

I can't agree more: As always, PRs are welcome

update: it seems that Flameshot already work on M1: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/2886#issuecomment-1229239603

So shall we close this issue?

i think, there's no native build for m1 mac, only using rosetta.

I think porting it to Apple Silicon would be a great idea, considering that Apple is making a full switch to their own chips. Apparently, qt supports it too: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/macos.html

Theres really not a reason to stop using Rosetta. The performance is great. I am not opposed to this, but the main blocker is there is no way to build an ARM version for Mac using Github Actions. Until there is a way past that there is no use discussing this further.

Looks like it's on github's roadmap at least - https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/528

@borgmanJeremy forgive me for being entirely ignorant of github actions - I see there are several other projects out there that build "universal" binaries that support both apple silicon and intel. Is this an option instead of making architecture-specific builds?
