Trying to add Apple Silicon (M1) releases to my project

[wimdeblauwe]

GitHub now has M1 (Apple Silicon) based runners for open source projects. I am trying to incorporate this for my project that uses JReleaser.

I updated my build matrix to include macos-14 which does the native build fine.

I updated my JReleaser configuration in my pom.xml to include the extra artifact for the osx-aarch_64 platform:

<artifact>
    <path>
        {{artifactsDir}}/{{distributionName}}-{{projectVersion}}-osx-aarch_64.zip
    </path>
    <platform>osx-aarch_64</platform>
</artifact>

However, the release itself now fails with:

distribution.ttcli.brew has more than one .zip artifact

See https://github.com/wimdeblauwe/ttcli/blob/main/pom.xml#L221 for my configuration.

The error message is not really clear to me, so any help is appreciated!

Default settings for brew packager require a single matching artifact. In this case there are 2 possibilities,x86_64 and aarch_64, hence why it fails. There are a couple of ways to solve this:

• if single artifact is desired then you must select which platform, x86_64 or aarch_64. Add <extraProperties><skipBrew>true</skipBrew></extraProperties> to the artifact that should not be chosen. https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/reference/packagers/homebrew.html#_skip_artifacts
• switch the brew formula to multi-platform by adding <multiPlatform>true</multiPlatform> to the packager. No additional changes are required.

I used <multiPlatform>true</multiPlatform> and the release is ok now. Thanks!
