Electron 11 should be used to build Rocket.Chat

Agree that most up-to-date Electron should be a base for RC desktop app.

Actually, it _does work_ now on the real M1 Apple Silicon using Rosetta2 emulation.
Nevertheless it would be great to see a real M1 release.

Is the version in the App Store different? Using that distribution, I am able to start the app but it fails when attempting to log into a server. Using version 3.0.7 downloaded from GitHub directly works correctly.

Any updates on this? 3.1.1 is still running via Rosetta 2

[Atomzwieback]

Why still no update on this? Even most single dev open source projects now cover M1 .... and here is no one really care about it.

Frankly speaking: the Electron app appears to be Abandonware.
The last commit to this repository was three months ago:

I have a bad feeling about this.

@fkoehler how can I using rosetta 2, please give me the guideline, thanks

Just install the normal intel version and it will work. But not as fast as it could.

also Apple begins to remove Rosetta 2 already so sometime this year rocketchat will simple not work anymore...
