Hi, I'm trying to get our Electron app running on Apple Silicon Mac. Running a beta release of macOS Big Sur on our DTK machine, I reached the conclusion that just upgrading the Electron version our app is using to 11.0.0 would be sufficient to get the app running under Rosetta2.
Today I updated the DTK to official Big Sur 11.0.1, and now the same (Intel) application built using Electron 11.0.0 refuses to start. The app icon has a "prohibition sign" on top of it, and when trying to launch it from command line, I get
Rebuilding the app changing only Electron version to 10.1.5 makes the "prohibition sign" go away and the app can be launched (although it doesn't work properly as Electron 10 has other Rosetta2 interoperability issues).
Does anyone have any clue what's the issue here?

Got an answer for this from Electron devs stating that this is a DTK issue and the app should work normally on M1 Macs: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/26530
