[BUG] "bad CPU type in executable" error on Intel Mac (v1.1.3-beta)

[379820]

Hi,

Environment

• OS: macOS (Intel, MacBook Pro 15-inch 2019)
• Processor: 6-Core Intel Core i9 @ 2.9 GHz
• Memory: 32 GB
• SoundMax Version: v1.1.3-beta
• Installation method: SoundMax-Installer.dmg (SHA256: 47a7c5dea97f63233721e05052b4034fcdad123db4cb7931bc8e2675dfd6f316)

Description

Application fails to launch with architecture mismatch error immediately after installation via DMG.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download SoundMax-Installer.dmg from v1.1.3-beta release
2. Mount DMG and drag SoundMax.app to /Applications
3. Attempt to launch application
4. Observe broken app icon in Finder (red circle with slash)
5. Run from terminal: /Applications/SoundMax.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundMax

Expected Behavior

Application should launch successfully on Intel-based Mac hardware.

Actual Behavior

bad CPU type in executable: /Applications/SoundMax.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundMax

Root Cause Analysis

Binary appears to be compiled for ARM architecture (Apple Silicon) rather than x86-64 (Intel), or contains mixed/corrupted architecture slices.

file /Applications/SoundMax.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundMax
/Applications/SoundMax.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundMax: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Suggested Fix

• Verify build pipeline targets correct architecture (x86_64 for Intel releases)
• Check if universal binary includes both arm64 and x86_64 slices
• Provide separate Intel-specific release if supporting both architectures
• Rebuild v1.1.3-beta with correct architecture flags

Files Affected

• SoundMax-Installer.dmg (v1.1.3-beta)
• /Applications/SoundMax.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundMax (binary)

Additional Notes

Install appears successful (no errors during drag-to-Applications), but executable is unusable.

Thank you.
