Disable option to install visionOS on Intel machines

Open rtharston opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Installing the visionOS requires Apple Silicon and is can't be installed using Xcode on Intel machines, but in Xcodes the install button is enabled.

Curious to see what would happen I clicked install on my Intel machine and it successfully downloaded and installed, but it can't actually be used in Xcode.

I considered suggesting replacing the button with 'Download' so people can use Xcodes to download the runtime for another machine, but a) they can install Xcodes on the other machine and b) clicking Install leads to the downloaded image getting deleted, so 'Download' doesn't seem to be a normally supported option anyway.

So I suggest the button is removed and replaced with a "Requires Apple Silicon Mac" label, like in Xcode.
