Update: We’re working around the WebKit crashes for now via detecting Rosetta 2 translation at runtime and simply skipping the tests where WebKit is used. There is a chance that Apple fixes these issues, but it’s not something to count on - given that this only affects older versions of iOS, the problem will at some point just “go away.” With our current schedule, we plan to drop iOS 12 in Q3 2021 and iOS 13 in Q3 2022, so it’ll be a while before we can fully move to Apple Silicon. However, it seems we’ll have to restrict tests to iOS 14 for that to work. We were extremely excited to be moving our CI to Mac minis with the M1 chip and are waiting on MacStadium to release devices. Some simulators even make problems on iOS 14 an example of this is iPad Air (4th generation), which still emulates Intel, so try to avoid that one. Performance also seems really bad, with Xcode periodically freezing, and the whole system becoming so slow that the mouse cursor gets choppy.
It seems WebKit crashes in a memory allocator, throwing EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0) (Apple folks: FB8920323).

Moving the simulator to the same architecture as shipping devices will be beneficial and will help find more bugs. Our tests mostly ran just fine, although I found a bug specific to arm64, which we missed before, as we don’t run our tests on actual hardware on CI. Apple’s last experiment with fanless MacBooks was the 12-inch version from 2017, which builds the same project in 41 minutes. One can’t overstate how impressive this is for a fanless machine. For comparison, my Hackintosh builds the same in less than 5 minutes.

Compiling the PSPDFKit PDF SDK (debug, arm64) can almost compete with the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro Apple offers (to date), with 8:49 minutes vs. I bought a MacBook Air 16 GB M1 to see how viable it is as a main development machine - here’s an early report after a week of testing. The excitement around Apple’s new M1 chip is everywhere.
