From Slack, it looks like these are @kidroca's repro steps:

Steps:
On a M1 mac

1. run npm run desktop-build-staging
2. Navigate to desktop-build and launch the built app
3. It immediately crashes

@danieldoglas, I have an M1, but I'm not 100% sure I know what to expect to see if I were to run these steps and get a success or failure. Can you try following @kidroca's steps here to see if you can reproduce the reported behavior?

[kidroca]

I can capture a video
The slack thread also has a link to a fix

@johncschuster, @danieldoglas Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?
