Does Xcode run on Apple silicon?

That’s partly because the Apple silicon Macs that Apple has released so far have been very good—as fast as or faster than the Intel Macs they replace , but with much better battery life (for laptops) and lower power usage (for desktops).

Fortunately, there’s a short term solution: you can install Python with x86 architecture on an Apple Silicon Mac . And better yet, you can still use pyenv to manage your environments.

Xcode runs on all Mac computers , so build your code on either an Apple silicon or Intel-based Mac computer and do your initial testing there.
