Building tdlight natives for aarch64

If you trying to build your project with tdlib on MacOS M1 (Apple Silicon chip), you probably are gonna face this error:

Caused by: it.tdlight.common.utils.CantLoadLibrary: Native libraries for platform OSX-AARCH64 not found! Required version: tdlight osx aarch64 4.0.267

You need to compile these natives for aarch64 architecture. The final artifact will be named as: tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64.

NOTE: If you want to take compiled artifact, just download it from my repo, then put into mavenLocal and use: https://github.com/lawlight33/tdlight-java-natives-aarch64/blob/master/compiled/tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64.zip

Step 1. Compile tdlight-java-natives

If you want to build it from scratch, then clone the repo: https://github.com/lawlight33/tdlight-java-natives-aarch64, and follow README.md:

1. Install JDK 1.8, and make it default (java -version should print 1.8).
2. Run scripts/utils./compile-natives-package.sh.
3. After successful compilation tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64:4.0.0-SNAPSHOT will be place to you mavenLocal repository (~/.m2/repository/it/tdlight/tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64/4.0.0-SNAPSHOT).

Step 2. Compile tdlight-java

Clone the repo https://github.com/lawlight33/tdlight-java-aarch64, and follow README.md:

1. Install JDK 11+ by default (JAVA_HOME & PATH environment variables)
2. cd tdlight
3. mvn install
4. tdlight-java:1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT placed to mavenLocal (~/.m2/repository/it/tdlight/tdlight-java/1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT)

Step 3. Use dependencies we just built

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>it.tdlight</groupId>
        <artifactId>tdlight-java-bom</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>it.tdlight</groupId>
        <artifactId>tdlight-java</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>it.tdlight</groupId>
        <artifactId>tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>

repositories {
	  ...
	  mavenLocal()
}
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("it.tdlight:tdlight-java-bom:1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT"))
    implementation("it.tdlight:tdlight-java:1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
    implementation("it.tdlight:tdlight-natives-osx-aarch64:4.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
}

That’s all. Many thanks to:
