Which build to use

1. you can use your local dev build but sometimes tests hag there. To use it, just place a path to the executable to AUT_PATH in your _local.py config, for example AUT_PATH = "/Users/anastasiya/status-desktop/bin/nim_status_client"

2. normally, please use CI build. Grab recent one from Jenkins job https://ci.status.im/job/status-desktop/job/nightly/

   2.1 Linux and Windows could be taken from nightly job

   2.2 Mac requires entitlements for Squish which we don't add by default, so please go here https://ci.status.im/job/status-desktop/job/systems/job/macos/ and select architecture you need (arm or intel), click Build with parameters and select Squish entitlements. Select a branch if u like (master is default)
