The released app is currently compiled arm64-only, so it won't launch on Intel Macs even though the code has no Apple Silicon dependency (deployment target is macOS 14.0 and all frameworks used are universal-safe). - Set ARCHS to $(ARCHS_STANDARD) and ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO in the app target's Release configuration so Xcode builds both slices - Pass the same flags explicitly in scripts/release_dmg.sh, since the plain 'build' action otherwise produces only the active architecture Verified on an Intel (x86_64) Mac: the universal build launches and runs natively.

The shipped DMG is compiled arm64-only (
lipo -archson v2.0.0's binary reports justarm64), so it won't launch on Intel Macs — but nothing in the codebase requires Apple Silicon: deployment target is macOS 14.0 and all frameworks used (ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, GRDB, Sparkle, etc.) are universal-safe. The release script's plainbuildaction just produces only the active architecture on your build machine.This PR sets
ARCHS = $(ARCHS_STANDARD)andONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = NOin the app target's Release config, and passes the same flags explicitly inscripts/release_dmg.sh.Tested: built universal from this branch and have been running it natively on an Intel (i7-9750H) Mac on macOS 15.3 — app launches, records, and runs stably.
