Error trying to run autosparkle from Terminal (zsh)

[am-play]

Hello,

Very excited to experiment with this tool for a Mac app I am distributing! This will really save a lot of time for developers.

So I am getting an error when trying to run autosparkle from zshell. I am not super experienced with Ruby, but it appears the binary is having issues finding dependencies, which do look to be installed.

I am on a M2 MacBookPro

$PATH looks good. Also the autosparkle bin throws the same error without adding the binary to path as specified

echo $PATH /opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/autosparkle-0.1.1/bin:/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/bin:/Users/andrew/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin

I figured out the solution to the error. Needed to manually install this:

gem install plist activesupport xcodeproj
