Description: On WWDC2020, Apple announced new Mac devices based on ARM architecture, since then, it's necessary to port LibreOffice to make it works on ARM architecture to fit consumer's needs.

I started a thread here yesterday: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/About-MacOs-future-with-ARM-tt4281998.html The first question is: does TDF want to continue to publish LO release for Mac? Indeed, there's already very few devs working on MacOs so porting code to ARM and maintaining for some years Intel release could be very difficult. Just consider how much time notarization problem has been there (I'm not even sure it's fixed now).
I am not so optimistic about whether this will be implemented in a timely manner. Hope time proves me wrong.
LODE and appdmg (https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg) both work flawlessly on Apple Silicon — tested on M1 MacBook Pro (model MYD82LL/A) and this is the result (linking via iCloud because the .dmg file is way too large to attach): https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0efNF60lfJYI74D8kZJMaEIAA#LibreOfficeDev_7.2.0.0 Why there are no official ARM builds, therefore, is clearly beyond me. Would make it much easier for those like myself who need to reserve precious disk space — due to how much disk space LODE hogs, it leaves me with just ~16GB remaining of the 256GB SSD it's used on (Xcode and Logic are also disk space hogs, but that's still no excuse).

In the builds you made, does the database component work ? Can you create a hsqldb embedded ODB file and have it work with Java ? Can you create an embedded Firebird ODB file and have it work correctly on M1 silicon ?
Looks like a dupe of bug 138191. On binaries there's bug 138192 open. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 138191 ***
