The calling convention is the same as on iOS, so you can try to build it
for that target... (and build from their development version on GitHub)

You need the libffi library compiled for macOS on ARM (
https://github.com/libffi/libffi ) and then you might need to add a
"{$linklibrary ffi}" or so, cause the ffi unit was not set tested on macOS.

Is there something else I need to do to allow FFI to work on arm64? (Does this 
depend on a dylib? or a static library?, and do I need to explicitly reference 
that?)

It looks like I misread the error completely, and presumed, from the include 
logic that it was x86_64 / x86 only.  It compiles now, thanks!

Rtti.Invoke is available in 3.2.0 however for all platforms except for
Win64 and the register calling convention on i386 the libffi library is
used. Officially libffi does not yet seem to support macOS on Aarch64
however it supports iOS, so you'll need to check whether you can get a
variant working for macOS on Aarch64.

Alternatively you'd need to implement a custom function call manager for
Aarch64.

As far as I know, the RTTI.Invoke is there. There are even tests for it. We
use libffi for it.

I don't know if it made it into 3.2, Sven Barth can inform better about
this.
