SQLCipher path errors with incorrect system architecture detection

[saintsatplay2015]

I am encountering an issue with the sqlcipher module throwing up an error, when used in the Capacitor/SQLite plugin for publishing through Electron as detailed here: capacitor-community/sqlite#421

The dependency error is reported as follows:

Cannot find module '/Volumes/Projects/htdocs/electron-ionic/ionic-sqlite/electron/node_modules/@journeyapps/sqlcipher/lib/binding/napi-v6-darwin-arm64/node_sqlite3.node

When I check the electron directory for this path I get the following:

/Volumes/Projects/htdocs/electron-ionic/ionic-sqlite/electron/node_modules/@journeyapps/sqlcipher/lib/binding/napi-v6-darwin-x64/node_sqlite3.node

The installed binding directory is napi-v6-darwin-x64 NOT napi-v6-darwin-arm64.

This issue appears to relate with incorrectly determining the MacOS Ventura/M1 chip MacBook architecture:

Unfortunately, this is also able to be replicated on an Intel based Mac system with the following stats:

• Mac OS
• Monterey 12.4
• Intel Quad-Core i7
• MB Pro 2016

In this instance, when attempting to run the npm run electron:start command (for the project related to capacitor-community/sqlite#421 I get the following error:

However this time there is NO directory being generated in the location where the error occurs:

In each instance the sqlcipher does not contain the correct expected directory reference (that the error throws up).

Is there a workaround/solution to this?
