The problem that you wish to solve

Lack of MacOS ARM64 pre-built binaries.

Description

Currently only Mac intel builds are provided, please provide ARM64 (aarch64) too, its becoming more widespread with M1/M2 chips and will should be supported in the longer term as Apple will deprecate Intel X64.

You can take a look at how we patch cardano-wallet in Daedalus to get aarch64-darwin executables:

https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus/blob/883cbed8b7c149404698a27368e468efadd5bdd9/nix/internal/common.nix#L26-L45

You can run it from our repo having Nix installed:

❯ nix run github:input-output-hk/daedalus#internal.aarch64-darwin.common.cardano-wallet -- --help
The CLI is a proxy to the wallet server, which is required for most commands.

If you need the latest release (not yet merged into Daedalus, but we have a PR):

❯ nix run github:input-output-hk/daedalus/chore/ddw-1220-cardano-node-8.1.1#internal.aarch64-darwin.common.cardano-wallet -- version
v2023-07-18 (git revision: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

After merging #4429, cardano-wallet now fully supports aarch64-darwin.

Starting with the next release, we will officially support the aarch64-darwin platform.
