A developer's handbook for migrating to Apple silicon.
At WWDC 2020, Apple announced that a new ARM-based Apple silicon processor is replacing the Intel chip that macOS has been running on for nearly the past two decades. We're already in the middle of Apple's two-year timeline for migrating from Intel to Apple silicon -- have you made the switch? For some development teams, moving from Intel to Apple silicon is an easy transition, for others, there can be unexpected roadblocks that pop up along the way. In this eBook, we look at the state of developer tools, investigate how converting to Apple silicon could impact your build pipeline, and offer suggestions for ensuring a smooth transition.
