M1 Mac machines in CI_CD for Flutter developers
summary
Benchmarks compare an M1 Codemagic runner to Intel Mac mini and Mac Pro and show M1 builds much faster — real examples include reported reductions like 57 min → 8 min, 31 min → 12 min, and others around 30 min → 21 min. Golden image tests show tiny artifacts between ARM and Intel (one case is a three-byte golden diff that reports effectively 0.0% visual change). A public Codemagic script posts QR codes on pull requests so reviewers can install release builds quickly. Android emulators don’t run on M1 CI, use Linux/Windows runners for Android.
