croc: Receiving does not work on macOS with M1

On my MacBook Air with M1 CPU, croc (which I installed via Brew) just hangs at connecting... when I try receiving a file.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Get some macOS Big Sur device, or install macOS as a Hackintosh using something like OpenCore. I only tried on one with an M1 SoC, but the issue might also exist on any macOS system. Perhaps it’s not even macOS-specific, but rather ARM-specific.
brew install croc
Allow croc to open ports in your firewall settings.
Send a file to yourself, or ask someone to send it to you from any machine.

Expected behavior The program should stop connecting... after a few seconds or so and start receiving the file.

Version croc version v8.6.7-05640cd

Receiving seems to work fine. The sender side is using macOS and croc VERSION: v8.6.7-05640cd

Update: tested again with both sides using version v8.6.7-05640cd:
