Accessibility API (AXUIElement) layout constraints on Apple Silicon

Hello everyone,

I am the developer of a macOS window management app called NeoTiler. I am currently optimizing it entirely for Apple Silicon using Swift.

I am using the Accessibility API (AXUIElementSetAttributeValue) to resize windows. While it works flawlessly on Safari and native apps, I've noticed a slight animation stutter when resizing Electron-based apps like VS Code or Discord.

Has anyone experienced this specific stutter with AX APIs on M-series chips? Are there any workaround flags I should pass? Thanks!
