Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a developer using New Apple Silicons using Arm64. nodegui does not supports it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I didn't tried anything yet.

Additional context
Because there isn't any compiled binary for it, npm install @nodegui/nodegui fails

I saw there is new package called qodejs which supports arm64. What things needed to done to support arm64.

Also there is an closed issue about it but I don't think it should be closed yet, so opening new one. #817

   It shouldn't be all that much work to get it going. It should mostly be a case of updating enough of the build system to add macOS arm64, and then testing to see if it works.

   As you saw qodejs already has support even though it hasn't really been tested. I would just start by cloning the nodegui repo locally and doing a npm install and npm run build and see what happens. You'll need Xcode installed and ready to go.

   You'll have more questions. Ask them here and I'll try to respond quickly.

   Something changed possibly in the build or packing step but the latest releases don't support macos/arm64 arch but a few versions back do.

   If the binary is not available, it will try to build it from source, in this case you (just?) need to have CMake3 installed (CMake4 did not work for me... or I did not have the patience to make it work). So... just verify you have the right version cmake --version, or download it and add the cmake 3 binaries to your PATH (I tested it with cmake 3.31.6).
