Build error on mac M1

I get the following error when I try to build the project using the script: ./scripts/build.sh

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.xolstice.maven.plugins:protobuf-maven-plugin:0.5.1:compile (default) on project mft-common-proto: Missing:

This is because com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.0.2 doesn't have support for Apple Silicon. Here's the referenced github issue in the protobuf repo.

[abhinav7sinha]

The newer protobuf binaries have mac m1 support.

1. so one possible solution is to bump protobuf from com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.0.2 to the latest com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.21.7.
2. A possible workaround is to use osx-x86_64 the os.detected.classifier for mac m1.

I'm currently using the 2nd approach (use osx-x86_64 as the os.detected.classifier) and it works. But a better approach would be to use the newer protobuf version. I'll test it and let you know if it works well.
