[BUG] Remote SSH to Apple Silicon Mac fails - darwin-arm binary missing (v1.11.9)
Summary
When attempting to connect from Windows Antigravity client to a remote Apple Silicon Mac (M4 Mac mini) via SSH, the connection fails because the server binary (darwin-arm/Antigravity-reh.tar.gz) cannot be downloaded from Google’s release server. All download URLs return errors.
This issue was previously reported in version 1.11.5 but remains unfixed in version 1.11.9.

Remote Host (Mac)
-
Device: Mac mini (M4, Apple Silicon)
-
Architecture: darwin-arm64
-
SSH: Working correctly (verified with terminal and VS Code Remote SSH)
Steps to Reproduce
-
Install Antigravity 1.11.9 on Windows
-
Configure SSH connection to Apple Silicon Mac (M4)
-
Attempt to connect via Remote SSH
-
Connection fails with download errors
Expected Behavior
Antigravity should successfully download the server binary for Apple Silicon Mac and establish the remote SSH connection.
Actual Behavior
The connection fails because the server binary cannot be downloaded. Antigravity attempts multiple URLs but all fail:

Root Cause Analysis
The server binary for Apple Silicon Mac (darwin-arm/Antigravity-reh.tar.gz) appears to be missing from Google’s release server for version 1.11.9.
This is the same issue that was reported for version 1.11.5, where the darwin-arm/Antigravity-reh.tar.gz file was not available on the release server.
Workaround Attempted
-
VS Code Remote SSH: Works perfectly with the same SSH configuration
-
Terminal SSH: Works perfectly
-
This confirms the issue is specific to Antigravity’s server binary distribution
Impact
-
Severity: High
-
Affected Users: All users attempting to use Remote SSH from any platform to Apple Silicon Mac
-
Workaround Available: Use VS Code Remote SSH instead (not ideal for Antigravity users)
Requested Fix
Please upload the missing darwin-arm/Antigravity-reh.tar.gz (or darwin-arm64/Antigravity-reh.tar.gz) binary to the release server for version 1.11.9 (commit: b31a0ea425328717c6bd1cff12c6755fd3d63a9d).
