The last published release for darwin-arm64 was 2.0.0, but the latest release is 2.0.6.

Expected Behavior

Publish the latest release for darwin-arm64.

This is visible on the releases page as well as the latest homebrew release.

YTMDesktop

2.0.6

OS

MacOS

OS Version

15.1

ARM64

Installation way

zip

Anything else?

I tried building the app from source for darwin-arm64, but the app instantly crashes. I'd post the crash trace, but I'm not sure if it has private info - can forward it to the development team if preferred.

EDIT: I was able to build by using the version in out/YouTube Music Desktop App-darwin-arm64 instead of make/zip/darwin/arm64.

We do not publish arm builds for mac anymore because of significant issues that occur with specifically only arm builds. We have active issues open about them on this GitHub.

fwiw I got it working on my machine™ (M4 Max MacBook Pro, 15.1 (24B2083))

Setup

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/ytmdesktop/ytmdesktop.git
cd ytmdesktop/

# install nodejs via asdf
asdf install nodejs latest
asdf global nodejs latest

# install electron build tools
npm i -g @electron/build-tools

# install yarn
corepack enable

# install dependencies
yarn install

Sanity check

# run app
yarn start

Build and sign

# build app
yarn make

# ad hoc sign the app
cd make/zip/darwin/arm64/
codesign --force --deep --sign - "YouTube Music Desktop App.app"

# copy to /Applications
cp -r "YouTube Music Desktop App.app" /Applications/

Start the built app

The first time it launches, you need to give it permission to store an app key in the login keychain.

Enter your password and click "Always Allow."

If successful, it'll startup and show the landing page.

Sign into your Google account and you'll be able to use the app as expected.

Notifications and scrobbling are also working, although last.fm didn't take effect until quitting and restarting the app.

Listening to it now 🥳

By any chance do you have a personal signing from another job / service you do?

I'm not too familiar with MacOS, but otherwise this appears to be a self signing of the application locally, (which is not something we can suggest people to do on their own machines, and ideally it should be as "plug and play" as it can be...
Which is why we are having people fiddle with command line stuff when they get the application.

This is an untrusted signing method. Otherwise you have to register as an apple dev for $100/year IIRC. Not suggesting it's the correct way to distribute apps, just a workaround until arm builds are supported.

Hi, I did the build command @pythoninthegrass described but I cannot go past the final step. Do I need my machine to be signed first or ist here anything I did wrong?
