Provide macOS Universal Binary (M1) release
monero-wallet-gui uses a lot of energy running on ARM M1 Macs due to translation. We should provide a universal binary.
I actually can't even seem to get monerod running. It just unexpectedly quits immediately. 😢
As a first step the next release will make it easy to compile monero and monero-gui on Apple Silicon, currently some manual changes are required.
@selsta Is this the only change needed (as of today master) to build on M1: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/3804
Just git pull master then make -j4 ?
master builds, however when trying to mine with P2Pool it gives an error "Error starting mining" "Couldn't start mining" Solo option works.
First step towards M1 binaries: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8312
I managed to get it working, I compiled https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool and replaced p2pool binary in monero-wallet-gui/Contents/MacOS
If I'm guessing right, the app downloads the binary and we need to update it to download the correct one?
I'm using 16" M1 pro
Qt only added official M1 support in 5.15.9: https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.9-released
This version won't be available open source until April 2023. It might be possible to get it working with previous versions but I didn't spend much time on it yet.

Oh okay. Thank you for the quick reply
Qt doesn't provide precompiled libraries for Qt 5.15.3 or later, which means I have to compile it myself. I've been doing some tests but I wasn't successful yet.
I made some progress here, I got the packaged GUI running natively with the following 2 issues:
- ~~Starting local node fails~~ found a workaround
- ~~Some icons don't display correctly~~ solved
