Reason

The dependent Protocol Buffers v3.14.0 does not come with an osx-aarch_64 version. You may find the osx-aarch_64 version at the Protocol Buffers Releases link here: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases. Since Mac’s M1 is compatible with the osx-x86_64 version, before this version is available for downloading, you need to manually specify the osx-x86_64 version.

Resolution

You may add -Dos.detected.classifier=osx-x86_64 after the original compilation parameters, such as: ./mvnw clean package -DskipTests -Dos.detected.classifier=osx-x86_64. After specifying the version, compile and run normally.
