I t looks like Etcher wont work with macOS for ARM. I tried to write an image for Raspberry Pi to a SD-Card and received the error message “Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check if the archive is not corrupted”. Same happens when I try to write an ISO to an USB-Stick.
Both images are ok when I use Etcher on a Mac mini with macOS for Intel.
MacBook Pro M1, macOS 11.5.2
Mac mini Intel i5, macOS 11.5.2
