I'm also getting the same red internal-error when exporting/importing from/to Apple Silicon.

@MikesGlitch commented on GitHub (Sep 9, 2025):

Was this introduced with the last version? It seems ARM64 related, I'm unable to replicate it on my x64 mac.

Could you open up devtools (cmd shift i or View > Toggle Developer Tools) and copy/paste the error that comes up in the console into this thread?

Should help us narrow down the module that needs built for arm64.

Ah that's interesting. This doesn't look like an electron issue. Are you using an external server like pikapods by chance?

I think the problem is because your electron app is not up to date with your server - if you use them both together the versions need to be aligned. This is hassle, which is why we don't recommend users use the Electron app with an external server.

For users with external servers, we have the PWA, which has similar functionality to electron- it gives the desktop app experience but ensures your up to date with the server at all times. You can install that via the browser - guide

If you absolutely need to use the server with electron, the problem should go away if you install the latest version https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/releases

I think the problem is because your electron app is not up to date with your server - if you use them both together the versions need to be aligned. This is hassle, which is why we don't recommend users use the Electron app with an external server. For users with external servers, we have the PWA, which has similar functionality to electron- it gives the desktop app experience but ensures your up to date with the server at all times. You can install that via the browser - [guide](https://pwa-store-7x5.pages.dev/store/how/en/) If you absolutely need to use the server with electron, the problem should go away if you install the latest version https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/releases
