Livebook Desktop app fails to start with error 11

[elepedus]

Environment

• Elixir & Erlang/OTP versions (elixir --version): Bundled with Livebook Desktop
• Operating system:
• How have you started Livebook (mix phx.server, livebook CLI, Docker, etc): Livebook Desktop app
• Livebook version (use git rev-parse HEAD if running with mix): 0.6.3
• Browsers that reproduce this bug (the more the merrier): no browser
• Include what is logged in the browser console: n/a
• Include what is logged to the server console: n/a

Current behavior

After downloading the Apple Silicon DMG from the livebook.dev website, I copied the app into the Applications folder and attempted to launch it. This resulted in a pop-up with error 11, as per this screenshot.

The referenced log file doesn't seem to contain anything useful:

[LivebookLauncher] release pid: 68930
[LivebookLauncher] release pid: 69191
[LivebookLauncher] release pid: 70079
[LivebookLauncher] release pid: 71032
[LivebookLauncher] release pid: 71927

Trying to run the app manually from the command line, I get a bit more info:

(base) ed.lepedus@TLJ7CVWRX2:~ $ /Applications/Livebook.app/Contents/Resources/rel/bin/app start

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done

I've had a look at the crash dump, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for and nothing particularly jumped out at me.

Expected behavior

A menu-bar app should launch, a livebook server shouid be started and a browser window should be opened.

Never mind, it was user error. I blindly downloaded the Intel build instead of the Apple Silicon build :(

We will have universal builds soon so fwiw others won't run into this particular problem. :)
