Fixed by:

• Cloning https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger
• Running nimble build --cpu:arm64 -o:native_main-arm64.py
• Executing ./.installers/install.sh local

Do you have any idea what we were doing wrong in tridactyl/native_messenger#9 ?

[mrafaeldie12]

Not entirely sure :( looks like the nativemessenger cli call is still fetching a non arm64 binary. The only thing I did really was clone the source and add the arm64 target.

Maybe this helps with debugging this is what I get out of the nativeinstall command in tridactyl cmd

curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tridactyl/native_messenger/master/installers/install.sh -o /tmp/trinativeinstall.sh && sh /tmp/trinativeinstall.sh 1.22.1

Also saw that there were some checks failing on that PR, wonder if it has something to do with this.
