if: startsWith(matrix.os, 'macos')
# Currently, the ffmpeg-static binaries are not universal (Not
# their fault, we thank them for their useful package, the issue
# is that there don't seem to be well known upstream sources that
# provide a universal binary).
#
# As a workaround, we invoke ffmpeg-static twice to download both
# the Intel and ARM binaries, and combine them into a single
# universal binary using lipo.
#
# Note that the yarn install will run again, as part of the
# "build:ci" step, so we're relying on ffmpeg-static install.js's
# behaviour of not overwriting the existing file named `ffmpeg`.
