Universal MacOS binary

[Randomblock1]

It's possible (and encouraged by Apple) to ship 1 binary that is native to both Intel and Apple chips. It's called a Universal binary. Anyway it should be pretty easy to enable despite being buried in the electron-builder documentation. Then you'll only need to distribute 1 DMG that supports both M1 and Intel. I'd do it myself but I don't have the time to test it, but it seems easy.

The universal dmg file will be bulkier. A file transferring utility nearing 300mb is not ideal.

Usually it's not that big of a increase in size. It's not like including 2 copies, only parts of it. All the images/common stuff is shared, just the native binary is combined.

Universal binaries are easier to manage than separate binaries.
