Failing to install fixed version on Darwin

[williamboman]

Hello! I'm experiencing issues installing newer versions of yls-yara via pip on Darwin (macOS) systems. I can reproduce this locally as well as on GitHub runners. The pip install logs are:

I'm at a loss as to why this is happening, but I figured this would be a good place to start.

The latest version that is installable is 0.10.0.

Hi, currently we don't have a pipeline for building avast/yari on Darwin. I will try to look into it, if its possible.

Reference: avast/yari#14

I suspect the issues I am seeing trying to get this to work on an Ubuntu VM on a Apple Silicon Mac relate to the same issue.

It is likely, especially if the VM is not emulating x86 architecture, but using the native arm architecture. You should be able to double-check by running uname -a in the VM.
