C API for iOS simulator on m1

Are there any plans to support iOS Simulator on M1 Macs?

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.dipasquale ,
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 :slight_smile:

Hi @marc.dipasquale ,
Do you have an update on Mac M series support?

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 :slight_smile:

Hi @marc.dipasquale ,
Thanks for the update. waiting :slight_smile:
