How does  `implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)` work?

I am building my mac app on my m1 machine. would I need to figure out a way to use `implementation(compose.desktop.macos_arm64)` or `implementation(compose.desktop.macos_x64)` depending on whether I am building for intel or m1, or does `currentOs` figures that part out?

`currentOs`  will produce a build to run only on your system - <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/gradle-plugins/compose/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/compose/ComposePlugin.kt#L144>

The system OS and architecture is detected for you:
<https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/gradle-plugins/compose/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/compose/internal/utils/osUtils.kt|https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/gradle-plugins/comp[…]src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/compose/internal/utils/osUtils.kt>

As far as I remember it uses the environment defined by the JDK that gradle is running on. So it should work for what you are trying to do.

Michael is right. i printed the `currentOs` value and it printed out something related to the architecture of the jdk i was using
