App modules/developer info: log app architecture property #16488

Description

@josephsl

Hi,

MOstly to help ARM64 users and testers:

Rationale

Microsoft, Google, and other app vendors are starting to provide native ARM64 applications for use on Windows 10 and later. Coupled with support for x86 apps (and AMD64 apps on Windows 11), it becomes important to help develoeprs and users figure out which app architecture is in use.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, app architecture property in app modules is not logged unlike product name, version, and helper binding handle. To see the app architecture, one must enter Python Console (Control+NVDA+Z) and type "focus.appModule.appArchitecture" (without quotes) and press Enter.

Describe the solution you'd like

Log appModule.appArchitecture property as part of developer info for navigator object.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do not log app architecture (see the current procedure above).

Additional context

This can be a useful way to assist with #16304 once both 32-bit and 64-bit NVDA are in use, as well as help debug app issues on Windows 10/11 on ARM64.

Thanks.
