We’ve been using and testing with M1 Macs, but it’s always great to hear how.

The Pro that Heads of Technology was using hit 110 F (43.5 C), and you can hear the fans going. Stadia Unity developers interested in bringing games to the Stadia platform should start by applying for development resources on Google’s Stadia developer website. Apple keeps trying to do passive cooling on stuff, and its historically gone badly. For all operating systems, the Unity Player is supported on workstations, laptop or tablet form factors, running without emulation, container or compatibility layer. I've personally never trusted Apple's cooling designs, and the lack of fans in the Air trips all my warning flags. Personally I'd be worried about any heavy development on a MacBook Air. Our 2018 testing MacMini is too weak to run Unity for builds, and our actual Dev Mac is quite old. I'm waiting for some more feedback, but at some point I'll have to put in to my boss to order a new development Mini M1, so we can do M1 binaries of our stuff. Heads of Technology had it up and running with the My First Lego Game ( Video at time stamp).
