Podman macOS doesn't find podman executable

Hi @goebelmeier! I'll push a fix so the app looks into /opt/homebrew/bin as well. 🙌🏻
I'll update here as soon as a release is signed and notarized. :)

Hi @jk! Thanks for the extra info!
Perhaps the download + init failed because it couldn't find podman CLI.

I have pushed a few commits to address those issues, along with a weird case in which podman attempts to run gvproxy from /usr/libexec.

I'll keep this one open until we have confirmation it is working as expected on non-intel systems.
For now I'm notarising the new release, and will issue a new release in the next few hours.

For the time being a workaround that works for me is like so:

brew install simnalamburt/x/podman-apple-silicon
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/podman /usr/local/bin/podman
podman machine init
podman machine start
# check if podman machine is running via
podman machine list
podman ps

After that, I could start the Podman macOS Desktop app without an error and it found the podman machine instance (by the way, it couldn't init/start podman machine VM by itself - I need to these steps manually on the cli).

Also I'm on an M1 mac.

Hey @jk, @goebelmeier! Yesterday I uploaded a new release, but for some reason Sparkle is not working. I'm planning on addressing this issue during this weekend. While I sort this out, could you folks kindly download the new release, replace the application on your systems, and check how it behaves? 🌻

Thanks!

Closing due to lack of activity.

I'm sorry i was not available the last days. Downloaded the new version and started it up. Works like a charm at first sight.
