My Answer:
It looks like there may be compatibility issues with the version of Phalcon you are trying to install and your PHP version.

One possible solution is to try installing a different version of Phalcon that is compatible with PHP 7.4. You can check the official Phalcon documentation or GitHub repository for information on which versions are compatible with PHP 7.4.

Alternatively, you can try compiling Phalcon from the source code instead of using Homebrew. This way, you can ensure that the version you are installing is compatible with your PHP version.

You can also try reaching out to the Phalcon community or support for further assistance on resolving this issue. They may have more insights or solutions to help you successfully install Phalcon on your Mac M1 with PHP 7.4.
