We are very excited to announce that we have Apple Silicon M1 support for our macOS executor! All customers on an annual plan can take advantage of the fast performance offered by this new resource class.
We’ve seen up to 2x performance gains on our M1 resources, compared to our other macOS resource classes. Additionally, you can build for Intel apps using our M1 resources by installing Rosetta. For an example on doing this, reference this macOS orb PR.
For more information on the power of M1 and getting started with these new resources, check out our docs!
