Research direction
Investigate the Min browser's build configuration (likely electron builder settings in package.json) to ensure proper code signing for Apple Silicon (arm64) architecture. Check if the issue is related to missing or incorrect entitlements, or if Electron needs to be updated to a version compatible with M1 Macs. Refer to comments in the issue for any additional clues or attempted fixes.
