    Hi @koznobikhin,

    There are definitely plans to support our C API (CCSMP) on M1 Macs. I don't have an exact date yet, but my guess is this fall.

    On the iOS simulator front, I thought you didn't need a iOS simulator on M1 macs as iOS apps could run natively. Is that correct? I'm curious why you'd be looking at using the simulator on the M1.

    Hi @marc,

    Thank you for the info.

    Regarding your question about the need for iOS Simulator, there are plenty of reasons to use it.

    • checking UI on different devices
    • checking UI with keyboard
    • using shake gesture
    • checking app behaviour upon entering/leaving background
    • etc.

    Surely there are workarounds for when you need libs like that, but it would have been nice to not have to use these workarounds.

    Awesome - thanks @koznobikhin. I'm not an iOS developer so always curious to learn :)

    Hi @farzadghr,

    Coming very soon actually! We are expecting it as part of CCSMP v7.25.0 which is scheduled for April. We'll ping this thread + make a separate post in the community once it's available.

    Note that shortly after CCSMP we will see Go/Python support as well :)
