Harness Continuous Integration now supports Apple Silicon M1 machines, providing iOS developers with the opportunity for faster and more efficient app development by utilizing the enhanced performance of the M1 architecture within their CI/CD pipelines. The M1 chip, introduced by Apple in 2020, marks a significant shift from Intel processors, offering improvements in processing speed, power efficiency, graphics, and machine learning. Harness has integrated M1 machines into its system, combining this powerful hardware with its managed cloud service to optimize developer workflows and reduce build times. The blog guides users on configuring pipelines to run on M1 machines, selecting specific Xcode versions, and using Rosetta for Intel-based architecture compatibility. By leveraging these resources, developers can enhance their app development process, and the blog encourages readers to explore these capabilities by signing up for a free trial with Harness CI/CD.
