   We ran into something like this a few times at @thisisnic and @stephhazlitt 's workshop. What happened was that some folks using Apple ARM-based machines were using R built for x86 (running under Rosetta emulation), and therefore received Arrow package binaries intended for x86, which will crash with illegal op codes. 
   
   R has had native builds for R for a long time now (and there are native ARM builds for arrow which work well), so if people are using ARM-based macs, we recommend installing native R and native arrow. 
   
   I will also send a PR shortly that adds a detection + warning on package load for arrow if we detect this so that folks know that they should run native R and things will work fine.
