[BUG] Remote SSH to Apple Silicon Mac fails - darwin-arm binary missing (v1.11.9)

Version 1.15.6 downloaded and tested, problem still not fixed.
Reported again in the in-app reporting tool.
Would be nice to understand if they acknowledge this problem and is working on it; seems like it would be such a simple quick fix, but perhaps I am missing something?

(Edit) I copied the script and manually ran it on the server, I get the same issue as above. So this item below is probably before attempting the binary downloads.

Is this something that we can fix ourselves? What I want to do is ssh connect using antigravity to my mac mini that I use as a local dev server. I have manually tried to install flock and wget using brew on both the mac mini and the macbook I’m using to access the macmini.

+1 Same issue here with Mac remote

+1 having same issue with mac mini

wget and flock issues could be resolved with .zshenv hack:

~/.zshenv:
export PATH=ā€œ/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATHā€

but downloads failed too

1.15.8 STILL FAILED

I just wanted to use Antigravity to code on my Mac Mini remotely, but I kept hitting errors saying macOS isn’t supported and it couldn’t find the Darwin binary.

I’m not a tech expert, so I came up with a hacky solution: since the IDE insists on a Linux host, I just spun up a Docker container on my Mac to act as a Linux bridge. It actually worked. By mounting the volume, I can edit files directly on the Mac’s drive. It runs perfectly fine as a daily driver.

Just sharing this to save some time for anyone else getting those 404 errors. It’s just two steps:

  1. Run this command on your Mac (starts an Ubuntu container with SSH. Remember to change the path to your own):

Bash

docker run -d \
  --name ai-bridge \
  -p 2223:22 \
  -v "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/PROJECT_PATH":/workspace \
  ubuntu:22.04 \
  sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y openssh-server sudo && mkdir /var/run/sshd && useradd -m -s /bin/bash -G sudo devuser && echo 'devuser:123456' | chpasswd && echo 'devuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' >> /etc/sudoers && /usr/sbin/sshd -D"

  1. When connecting via SSH in your IDE, switch to port 2223 (password is 123456):

ssh -p 2223 devuser@YOUR_MAC_IP

Once connected, just open the /workspace folder to find your code.

I’m not sure if this is the best practice or if there are any hidden downsides, so I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice on this approach.

Google, is this ever going to be fixed? Seriously, it’s been like two months already.

I also was wondering if this issue will be fixed or not.

Is there any plan?

Same issue, please fix.

Same issue, please fix:

Thank you for the temporary solution, but it works. :grinning_face:
