I don't think a universal2 build is possible, it requires all of our dependencies to also be universal2.

The reason for that is that even with a universal2 python environment, some packages may end up providing only single-arch binaries, making it impossible to create a functional universal2 frozen application.

In such cases, creating frozen application for the selected target architecture will not be possible unless the problem of missing arch slices is manually addressed (for example, by downloading the wheel corresponding to the missing architecture, and stiching the offending binary files together using the lipo utility).

@darodi GitHub has released free M1 runners! I confirm it works great 2x faster than Rosetta. @AcidWeb in case you are interested too.

FlyCI has M1 and M2 runners with a free tier for M1s. Our runners are on average 2x faster and 2x cheaper than GitHub's.
