I am trying to cross compile from x86_64 to aarch64. I can build a x86_64 package, but when I attempt an aarch64 the build crashes. I am using electron and the crash is around the time that the ‘zypak-wrapper’ script is being used.
Some time ago, maybe months, I could succsesfully compile my app for aarch64.
I have checked and I have the aarch64 flatpak packages installed for my app.
My biggest concern is that flatpak does not support aarch64 cross compiling any more.
Below is some terminal output.
$ flatpak --supported-arches
x86_64
i386
$ flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node14/aarch64/21.08
Looking for matches…
Skipping: org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.node14/aarch64/21.08 is already installed
$ flatpak install org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/aarch64/21.08
Looking for matches…
Skipping: org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/aarch64/21.08 is already installed
Note: I can go through all the required flatpak packages and the flatpak program will tell me they are there.
Here is some crash output.

and btw, I cannot find the /run/build/ dir for the log on my system.
It never did support cross compilation. At best you can run it with qemu, where the whole build process with be emulated.
does not flatpak builder support an --arch=aarch64 target achitecture?
This is my yaml file. Breifly I could not even build the x86_64 arch. Then I realized that I had edited the node16 to read node14. This really baffled me. Now x86_64 works again. Now when I try to build for aarch64 I get an error, again somewhere around the zypak wrapper. It has something to do with electron-builder in the packaging stage. I then added zypak sources to the yaml file. Still I get the same error. I updated electron-builder to 23.5.1, but the error remains the same.

This is the actual error.

cp: target ‘/app/main’ is not a directory

Well, if dist/linux*unpacked resolve into more than one file/directory than /app/main must exist prior to it.
I think you are right. maybe special cp commands need to be written for the right content to end up in /app/main too.
