Full installation of Xcode is required

[JavierCane]

As per #69, we would be automatically installing the Command Line Tools in order to have git available during dotly install:

dotly/installer

Lines 98 to 113 in 4828b14

	case "$OSTYPE" in
	darwin*)
	_a "Checking if Command Line Tools are installed 🕵️‍♂️"
	xcode-select --install 2>&1 | grep installed > /dev/null
	if [[ $? ]]; then
	_a "Installing Command Line Tools 📺"
	xcode-select --install
	_q "Press a key after command line tools has finished to continue...👇" "CLT_INSTALLED"
	fi
	;;
	*)
	_e "Could not install git, no package provider found"
	exit 1
	;;
	esac

However, it seems that we would need an entire installation of Xcode in order to run mas:

%  bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodelyTV/dotly/master/installer)

mas: A full installation of Xcode.app 10.2 is required to compile
this software. Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.

Xcode can be installed from the App Store.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

It seems that we would not be able to automate the installation of Xcode. You have to manually install it through the App Store, or downloading it from the Apple Developer website after signing in with your Developer ID.

Would you find useful if even if having to do this by hand, we handle this error and instruct the user on how to proceed?

I've been there… Once you install the Xcode (1h process) you'll be able to install mas, but not to execute it, since they have a bug

The only way to run mas is using rosetta. We could download a new release and install it manually.

For now, I'll disable the mas installation on apple silicon devices.

What do you think?

[JavierCane]

Good one. Thanks!

It seems they also have this PR waiting for some modifications due to the Homebrew 3 upgrade ☺️

Would you find OK if I rename this issue to something like "Add mas support for Apple Silicon (arm64)" and keep it open until we can actually solve it?
