Description

Been banging my head after getting M1 machine. My goal is have a working setup with flipper running on simulator outside of Rosetta on my main project. No success so far, (made it run on device with no changes), but having issues with simulator, so I decided to check against a simpler project.

So my current steps so far were:

  1. Clone the react-native/ReactNativeFlipperExample app
  2. yarn install && cd ios && pod install
  3. Attempt to debug build to iPhone 13 simulator.

Currently on my machine it fails with

I'm not sure how it's even supposed to work with excluded architectures, since project.pbxproj file excludes arm64 configuration on main, which gets overridden by react_native_pods postinstall hacks workarounds.

Adding bridging header (how I deduced, mainly for ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES) does not help a bit. Then it goes into territory on more attempts to make stuff run, overriding excluded archs again, which kinda ruins the point in trying to run an example project.

I'm interested in is that some problems in my configuration, or I should stop trying and it's not running on M1 machines in current state?

xed version 13.1

Thank you for you time!

Research direction
The issue reports a build failure for the ReactNativeFlipperExample on M1 Macs when targeting the simulator. The user attempted overriding excluded architectures without success. Check the 7 comments for any maintainer responses or workarounds. Investigate the correct podfile or project settings for arm64 simulator support. The solution may involve updating the 'Excluded Architectures' build setting or using Rosetta. Refer to the flipper documentation for M1 compatibility.
