1790826 - Improve the instructions on how to run try builds on Apple Silicon machines

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Build Documentation, task)

Description

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

We currently have instructions about stripping the quarantine attribute here:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/try/index.html#resolving-try-build-is-damaged-and-can-t-be-opened-error

However, on my M1 Mac, this doesn't seem to be enough to be able to run arm64 builds from the regular build jobs. Instead, the only way I've been able to run an arm64 try build was to trigger the "repackage" job and download the target.dmg from it.

I have some suggested tweaks to the documentation.

There is an r+ patch which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:mstange, could you have a look please?
If you still have some work to do, you can add an action "Plan Changes" in Phabricator.
For more information, please visit BugBot documentation.
