What's the min version of Sentry Cocoa with support for M1 @philipphofmann ?

[philipphofmann]

If I remember correctly, we didn't have any significant issues with M1. Apple released the first M1 Macs in November 2020. Just to be safe I would pick 6.1.0 for the min version which we released in January 2021.

[philipphofmann]

From the error message I see that this is a problem with linking. As we are using Carthage to include sentry-cocoa, I think we should update to 7.2.0 in which we fixed an issue for Carthage with XCFrameworks.

[bruno-garcia]

@lucas-zimerman is this something you can help us with? We might need to bump the dependency and runs some tests

[lucas-zimerman]

running on iOS simulator seems to trigger this error even if you update sentry-cocoa, on the other hand, when targeting the device itself the error seems to be gone (M1)

EDIT: I might have spotted the issue, I'll do further tests and we may get a new version soon 🙂
