M1 Mac machines in CI/CD for Flutter developers
summary
Cloud M1 Mac Minis on CodeMagic and Bitrise deliver huge CI speedups: measured with a real Flutter app (Sharezone) and three-run averages, builds drop from ~60 to ~10 minutes and similar Android times halve in other reports. Migration requires updating native deps, moving past Rosetta, and validating golden and UI tests may behave differently across architectures. A small Codemagic script/package is provided to auto-build PRs, OTA-install via QR and update comments, and overall the setup works but demands dependency fixes and deterministic Mac parity.
