Request: Support for Intel-based Macs (x86_64 architecture) #20

Problem Description

I'm trying to install Ghost OS on my Intel-based Mac, but the releases only provide ARM64 binaries. When attempting to run the downloaded binary, I get:

/bin/bash: line 2: /usr/local/bin/ghost: Bad CPU type in executable

System Information

• CPU: Intel Core i5-8210Y (x86_64)
• Architecture: x86_64
• macOS: macOS (Intel-based)
• Current Status: Only Command Line Tools installed (no full Xcode)

Request

It would be great if Ghost OS could provide pre-built binaries for Intel-based Macs, similar to how many macOS apps provide both Universal binaries or separate Intel/ARM downloads.

Alternatives Considered

1. Building from source - Requires Xcode and Swift 6.2+, which adds complexity for users without full Xcode installation
2. Using alternative automation tools - But Ghost OS's accessibility tree approach is superior to screenshot-based methods

Additional Context

Many users still have Intel Macs (2019 and earlier models). According to Apple's transition timeline, Intel Macs will remain in use for years. Providing Intel support would significantly expand the user base.

If building Universal binaries is not feasible, perhaps providing separate downloads for Intel and ARM architectures would work.

Environment Details

$ uname -m
x86_64

$ sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8210Y CPU @ 1.60GHz

$ xcode-select -p
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Thank you for considering this request! 🙏
