It will be extremely interesting to see what the dev's say with the test boxes. Curious if there's any magical fixes like switching over to ARM Linux, since the software of an image would likely be compiled for x86 I really doubt it...

Perhaps this will spur some people over to running ARM servers in the cloud...

It's unlikely the test boxes are going to people who deploy to x86 backends. They are targeted towards iOS and macOS developers.

We can have the experience of developing on ARM to deploy on x86 right now with ARM workstations. A 16 core barebones costs around $700

Has anyone received an invite into the program yet? I applied on day one, but don’t have a Mac Store app currently published, so I’m not sure if I will get accepted.

I don’t have a published Mac app either and I got accepted.
