Why
Fix #18 (comment)
The is CLI instacrashing on x64 machines with the following error "mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64h' or 'x86_64'))". That's because nodejs-mmkv only includes bindings for the current running architecture.
How
Unfortunately nodejs-mmkv does not allow us to build node bindings for multiple architectures (arm64 and x64), which is a requirement for us given that we support both Apple silicon and Inter processors. To fix this I create a fork, mmkv-node-bindings, which allows us to specify the architectures that we want to build through a package.json field. This fork also includes the correct TS typings
Test Plan
archive cli and run it on arm64 and x64
