Resolves #2977
What is the feature
Add support for deployment on macOS ARM architectures.
Why we need the feature
With the growing adoption of Apple Silicon (ARM-based) Macs, it's essential to ensure that our deployment processes are compatible with these devices. Supporting macOS ARM will provide a better user experience, improve performance, and expand our user base to include those using the latest Apple hardware.
How to implement and why
Update Build Configuration: Modify the existing build scripts and configuration files to include ARM architecture targets. This ensures that the application is built correctly for macOS ARM environments.
Dependency Verification: Review and update all dependencies to ensure they are compatible with macOS ARM. Replace or update any dependencies that do not support ARM.
Testing on ARM Devices: Set up continuous integration pipelines that include macOS ARM environments. This allows for automated testing and ensures that deployments work seamlessly on ARM-based Macs.
Documentation: Update the deployment documentation to include specific instructions and considerations for macOS ARM. This will help users understand any differences or additional steps required for ARM deployments.
Performance Optimization: Optimize the application for ARM architectures to take full advantage of the performance benefits offered by Apple Silicon.
This step-by-step implementation ensures comprehensive support for macOS ARM, addressing both technical and user experience aspects.
About backward compatibility
Maintaining support for both Intel and ARM architectures is crucial to ensure that existing users on Intel-based Macs are not affected. By implementing architecture-specific build targets, we can provide seamless support for both platforms without disrupting the current user base.
