Appflow is moving towards standardizing around Apple silicon build stacks for the iOS target platform to align with Apple’s plans to reduce support for Intel in the near future. As of Oct 1, 2024 following changes are in place.
Intel based build stacks macOS - 2023.06, macOS - 2023.09, macOS - 2023.10, and macOS - 2024.04 Intel based build stacks are marked as retired effective 10/1/2024. Any automations associated with these build stacks are automatically migrated to the equivalent Apple silicon build stack (e.g. automations associated with macOS - 2023.06 will migrate to macOS - 2023.06 - Apple silicon)
Starting Oct 1, 2024, any new build stack will only support Apple silicon
Action Required
If you are using an Intel build stack, we recommend testing builds on the latest buildstack or the equivalent Apple silicon stack. This will ensure that your application continues to build successfully on silicon stacks ahead of Intel build stack retirement.
If you are using the CLI and specifying an intel based build stack version, please update your integration to provide the equivalent Apple silicon build stack information.
If you are already using silicon stacks, no action is required. These stacks will continue to be provided and new build stacks will continue to be released.
