We’re excited to announce that experimental support for Xcode 15.3, Xcode 15.4, and macOS Sonoma is now available for Mac builds on our platform! This is our first release that leverages Apple’s new generation of hardware!
Additionally, you can now opt-in to the Apple Silicon OS and Silicon editor architecture type for your Mac build environment, providing more flexibility for different project needs. However, please be aware of the following key consideration:
- Lightmap Baking on Silicon Editors: If you’re using a Silicon-based editor, please note that lightmap baking is not currently supported. You will need to pre-bake your lightmaps and submit them to your source control.
These updates are currently in the experimental phase, meaning further optimizations and stability improvements are on the way. You can start using these features now for your Mac builds, but please be prepared for ongoing adjustments as we refine our support for the latest Xcode versions and macOS.
As part of this experimental release, we are also marking all previous macOS and Xcode versions as deprecated as we start to shift usage towards our newer and faster Apple silicon machines. While these versions are deprecated, they will remain available for use during your transition to the updated versions. Rest assured, we will provide proper notifications well in advance before removing the deprecated versions from the system entirely.
We welcome your feedback as you explore Xcode 15.3, Xcode 15.4, and macOS Sonoma in your Mac builds, helping us ensure a smooth transition toward a full release.
Thank you for your continued trust in our platform, and happy building!
Best regards,
Unity Build Automation Team
