iOS arm64 architecture only work on physical device

Hello

it's not running on IOS

I'm getting the exact same error while trying out the Example or creating a new React Native application with react-native-skia. As the error shows, this may be a problem related to Apple M1 chips arm64. I suppose the precompiled libskia.a is not arm compatible?

This issue is confirmed. As a workaround, it will work if you use a real device. A fix for using the arm architecture on the simulator will come soon.

Just so it's mentioned - I can run it fine if I build the app with rosetta which works alright as a workaround for the time being for me. :)

I have a second terminal emulator set to run with rosetta I use, but I imagine arch -x86_64 react-native ios also could work :)

The issue is that before Apple M1 the simulator and the device had different architectures (x64 and arm) which was super simple to handle in fat binaries. Now that we've got the new Apple M1 chip the device and simulator has the same architecture (arm) - but different platforms (iOS and iOS Simulator). This requires us to move the iOS binaries into xcframeworks with all the correct platforms and architectures. This is work in progress.
