Problem

The GitHub Actions release workflow was failing for the x86_64-apple-darwin target because cross compilation was enabled (use-cross: true), but cross does not have a default Docker image for this target on macOS runners.

Solution

Disabled cross compilation for the x86_64-apple-darwin target by changing use-cross: true to use-cross: false. This allows the job to use the native cargo build on the macos-13 runner instead.

Changes

Modified .github/workflows/release.yml line 30:

- - { target: x86_64-apple-darwin, os: macos-13, use-cross: true }
+ - { target: x86_64-apple-darwin, os: macos-13, use-cross: false }

Impact

  • ✅ Fixes the build failure for x86_64-apple-darwin target
  • ✅ Uses native macOS toolchain which is more reliable for this target
  • ✅ No impact on other targets or workflow functionality
  • ✅ Maintains precompiled binary generation for all supported platforms

This is a minimal, targeted fix that resolves the specific cross-compilation issue without affecting any other aspects of the release process.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

The GitHub Actions workflow in .github/workflows/release.yml is failing for the x88_64-apple-darwin target. The error occurs because cross compilation is enabled (use-cross: true), but cross does not have a default Docker image for this target on macOS.

To fix this, modify the matrix strategy in .github/workflows/release.yml.

Find the line for the x86_64-apple-darwin job:
- { target: x86_64-apple-darwin, os: macos-13, use-cross: true }

And change it to:
- { target: x86_64-apple-darwin, os: macos-13, use-cross: false }

This will disable the use of cross for this specific job and use the native cargo build on the macos-13 runner, which will resolve the build failure.
