Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

Export

Processing version

4.4.10

Operating system

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.2

Bug description

Exporting an application for ARM Mac silently fails. 4.3.4 can export without trouble on the same machine.

Steps to reproduce this
  1. Export an application, choose ARM Mac and include Java. I encountered the problem with this one:
    https://github.com/n1ckfg/DrawingGame

  2. Export will silently fail, producing a small garbage file.

  3. Doing the same on 4.3.4 produces a working application with Java included as expected.
