### Apple Silicon Support
39+
40+
It is possible to build Apple Silicon/Universal binaries using the Xcode `12.0.0` image as Apple provides both the Intel (`x86_64`) and Apple Silicon (`arm64`) toolchains in this release. Cross-compiling Apple Silicon binaries on Intel hosts has an additional overhead and as a result compilation times will be longer than native compilation for Intel.
41+
42+
Running or testing Apple Silicon apps natively is currently not possible as CircleCI build hosts are Intel-based Macs. Binaries will need to be exported as [artifacts](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/artifacts/) for testing apps locally.
