'How to package an electron app for "darwin-x64" on an Mac M1/Apple Silicone (arm64)?

Hi Electron Enthusiasts! How do I package an electron app for "darwin-x64" on an Mac M1/Apple Silicone (arm64)?

It is definitely possible, since a month ago I had an MacBookPro with M1 chip and I was using electron forge to package. The final product was a "darwin-x64" app. It showed up as "kind=intel" in Activity Monitor when executed and I shared the app with colleagues running good old intel macs. They were able to run it without any problems. Now I am on a new MacBookPro with M1 and I had to reinstall everything. Now electron forge outputs a 100% "arm64" version of my app. Which is perfect but I also have to package an intel version on this machine. I was searching on google for hours without any luck. So any help highly appreciated!

My electron forge config does NOT accept:

module.exports = {
  "packagerConfig": {
    "all": true, 
    "arch": "x64",
  }
}

What am I missing?

electron electron-forge

This worked for me:

electron-forge package --arch=x64 --platform=darwin

electron-forge doesn't accept all in packagerConfig and ignores arch and platform inside it too for some reason.
