Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Installed the flatpak but it does not run:

❯ flatpak run com.actualbudget.actual 
bwrap: execvp ldconfig: Exec format error
error: ldconfig failed, exit status 256

Exec format error is a typical error when trying to run apps build for X86_64.

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?

I think having an arm64 machine with Linux installed and trying to run the flatpak as shown above should provide the same error.

NOTE: Filed it as bug, but could also be seen as a feature request to support arm64 flatpak 🤷🏾 .

Where are you hosting Actual?

Desktop App (Electron)

We only build flatpak and appimage for x64 at the moment. We could look to add arm support, I'm not sure how much demand there is for it.

For now you could use the web/pwa version if you like. Marking this as a feature.
