Hi all,

With the new version of Xcode there is a new "mac" option that is unticked by default in CN1's produced Sources (Click on Project -> Main Target -> Deployment Info)

It used to be that the project had 2 options:

-iPhone
-iPad

Now it has 3 (also mac)

When Apple first released their new Apple Silicon computer (M1), the AppStore warned that unless told not to it would start offering iOS apps on the AppStore to Mac (Apple Silicon) users

But now it looks like we have to also tick this box in Xcode in order to mark apps for Apple Silicon?

I don't have an Apple Silicon computer (I wish), so I wonder if anyone who does has been able to test whether ticking/unticking this box has any effect on whether an app is displayed for download in an Apple Silicon's AppStore

Thanks

Javier

Hi,
We had to return our experimental device to Apple so we no longer have it. I'm personally waiting for M2 to upgrade my mac.

No worries

I published a new version with the "mac" option ticked, so I guess it doesn't hurt to tick it

Thanks

Javier

Shai,

Once you get that M2 it would be great to see how the deployment process has changed in the new version of xcode :). I have ceased to see "Desktop" downloads since I deployed from the new xcode version. I believe it is now required to build a separate build (Destination -> Build any mac etc) and publish as a macOS app instead of an iOS app. But this is only a theory and I can't test without access to an M1

Also, building for a "mac" destination currently throws many errors. No idea if this can be actually done

That isn't something I'm waiting for right now so I don't know when I'll get that. We still need to do some changes for m1 support.
