Apple Silicon support

[theramzay]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Bot Framework emulator runs through Rosetta 2 on M1 Mac , it's not efficient.

Describe the solution you'd like Electron.js have Apple Silicon version. VS Code already use it, so, for Bot Framework Emulator solution is the same as for VS Code.

Hi @ramzzzay ,

Thank you for the suggestion. We are aware of the Apple M1 support starting in Electron 11 and it is something we have considered and would eventually like to implement.

To do this, we would need to update our packaging process to also release an arm64 Mac executable, which might also require some additional changes in how we deploy application updates.

We will keep this on our radar.
