Apple preps developers for Apple silicon transition

Apple today announced it will be transitioning its Mac computers from Intel chips to its own custom silicon, and encouraged developers to start updating their apps. The first Mac with Apple silicon is due to ship by the end of the year. 

To assist developers with the move to Apple silicon, Apple has introduced the Universal App Quick Start Program, which provides beta versions of MacOS Big Sur and Xcode 12, access to documentation, forums support, and limited use of a Developer Transition Kit (DTK), a Mac development system based on Apple’s A12Z Bionic System on a Chip (SoC). Apple Developer Program members can apply to the program, which cost $500, at developer.apple.com.
