Apps on GitHub are integrations with the GitHub APIs. This "GitHub APP" should be installed on repository and it will enable requests for arm-based runners . Sorry for not specifying this APP in the above comment. It is to avoid unnecessary access from public. The installation link will be provided, as well as document, after release.
