@aaomidi We are working on this right now and hope to deliver that support this week.

You can track the issue in this issue (coverage-reporter #137) on our repo for the GitHub Actions's underlying executable, coverage-reporter. That is the executable that needs the ARM64 support.

We have had more trouble than expected with this, so if not this week, we would hope to resolve by next week sometime.

Did this get resolved? I see that the binary is now being built for ARM too?

Hi @aaomidi. Not quite yet. But we're close.

We've tried to cut a release with arm64 binaries twice now that we've pulled for issues discovered after the fact, so we are now adding more verification steps to our CI/CD process.

We genuinely hope to have it out today, but if not, then by Mon.

@afinetooth Will we need to change anything to use it, or will it just start working, automatically using the right binary for an existing uses: coverallsapp/githubaction@v2?

Hi @OJFord.

We plan to make three (3) updates in this order and timeframe.

1. This week - We'll cut a new release of coverage-reporter itself, which will include a new linux binary for aarch64 and provide instructions in its README for how to install and run that version.
2. This week or next week - We'll cut new releases of our github-action and orb with new input options to specify which version of coverage-reporter to use.
3. Next 4-6 weeks - We'll cut new releases of our github-action and orb that will automatically select the right version of coverage-reporter based on both runner OS and architecture (If possible. We have not validated this yet.)

So, until we can release (2) you won't have the option in the github-action; you would need to drop down to using the coverage-reporter directly until (2) is available.

These timing were way off (apologies). For updates, see below.
