Apple Silicon support

[airhorns]

It'd be really great to get a build for arm64 / apple silicon so duckdb performance is improved for macOS users on M* chips! Duckling works under the intel emulation mode but there is often a major performance hit from this emulation so a native build would be great!

Thanks for a great piece of open source software!

I released version Duckling_0.0.33_aarch64.dmg with a build for arm64, but I don't have an Apple device and have never tested on it, if there are any questions or suggestions during use, please let me know

Thanks for the speedy resopnse! Gave that prerelease a shot and got this error trying to run the app after extracting it:

I am not very experienced with macOS development but I clicked the little ? at the top and got this help page that came up:

which suggests a code signing issue

Sorry, this is because the app is not signed by Apple. Because it costs $99 annually for Apple support. One solution is to execute in terminal:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Duckling.app

OR

sudo xattr -c /Applications/Duckling.app

Hm, I'm not sure that's what's happening. The dialog in that link you posted has a "open anyway" button at the bottom. When I run the intel build, I get the "cannot verify" dialog and I am able to overcome it by hitting the open button at the bottom. But when running the aarch64 build, I get "is damaged and can't be run", with no open button at the bottom. I think macOS is seeing it as a completely invalid signature, instead of none at all.

Works fine if launched via CLI. You should be able to xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Duckling.app to also solve this.

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Duckling.app

this worked for me, thank you!
