feat: multi-platform multi-arch support (arm64, amd64, macOS Universal)

[SgtPooki]

This issue is intended to track the work and requests for distributing IPFS-Desktop across multiple architectures on multiple platforms (arm64, amd64, macOS Universal, and any others that pop up).

We have received requests for supporting the following currently unsupported builds:

Platform	Architecture	Native build needed	Kubo supported?	Related Issues
macOS	arm64	Darwin arm64	Yes - https://dist.ipfs.tech/kubo/v0.23.0/kubo_v0.23.0_darwin-arm64.tar.gz	#1827, #1856
macOS	Universal	Darwin arm64 + Darwin amd64	Not directly, need to explicitly build universal build that wraps both.	#1827, #1856
Raspberry Pi	arm64	Linux arm64	Yes - https://dist.ipfs.tech/kubo/v0.23.0/kubo_v0.23.0_linux-arm64.tar.gz	#165
Windows	arm64	Windows arm64	Yes - https://dist.ipfs.tech/kubo/v0.23.0/kubo_v0.23.0_windows-arm64.zip	#2656

Is IPFS-Desktop opposed to supporting more architectures and platforms?

No. We would love to support more platform+arch with IPFS-Desktop.

What requirements/limitations are there for supporting a platform+arch?

The only limiting factors preventing this work are:

1. time & dev resourcing
2. whether Kubo supports the platform+arch
3. whether electron-builder supports the platform+arch
4. Whether we have github-action runners available for building and signing a particular platform+arch combination.

Articles on how to accomplish.

Two good resources I found are:

• https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/blog/electron-apps-for-arm-and-raspberry-pi
• https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25319

Other Electron applications bundling platform+arch's we want

I searched for electron-builder stuff in github CI files and found a few examples for us to look at.

https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop seems like a promising place to look for configs and stuff to update our electron-builder flow.. seems like a pretty popular app that's up to date with a really clear electron-builder integration, and multiple arch builds: including mac universal build.

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Figure out what arm64 hosted-runner kubo-releaser is using
2. update electron & electron-builder
3. Investigate https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop for required changes to electron-builder configs
4. call electron-builder from arm64 hosted-runners with flags as mentioned in https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/blog/electron-apps-for-arm-and-raspberry-pi and at https://www.electron.build/cli
5. Ensure auto-update script is appropriately considering arch type
