I read the instructions above:

Description

The subject line speaks for itself really. I do know from the documentation that CHIRP is only supported on the Intel architecture today, but I was hoping there might be plans on the roadmap to build in support for this new chip. I've upgraded to the Apple Macbook Air M1 architecture and it is incredible. But I didn't think ahead to realize the M1 was not supported.

Thanks for your consideration.

+1 for this one and get it fixed.

after some troubleshooting, it looks like it simply requires a re-compilation and it should be running fine.

Using package embedded Python leads to a killed process:

> bash -x CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp
++ dirname CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp
+ LOCATION=CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS
+ PYTHON=CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../CHIRP
+ export PYTHONPATH=/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages:CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/site-packages:.
+ PYTHONPATH=/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages:CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/site-packages:.
+ export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/lib:/opt/homebrew/lib/
+ DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/lib:/opt/homebrew/lib/
+ export DYLD_VERSIONED_LIBRARY_PATH=CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/lib:/opt/homebrew/lib/

+ exec CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../CHIRP CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/chirp/chirpw
Killed: 9

Changing the script to use the system python fails with not found library (didn't realize there is a hard-coded dependency on it):

I guess, installing x64 version of Homebrew might solve the problem, but I don't really want to keep two versions of Homebrew.
