# Apple Silicon Simulator Support If you're using Swift Package Manager or the zip file, everything should work for you using Xcode 12.0 or above. See the instructions below for CocoaPods and Carthage. ## CocoaPods Starting with Firebase 7.5.0, Firebase supports Apple Silicon Macs via CocoaPods. *CocoaPods 1.10.0 is required.* The special `M1` versions required for FirebaseAnalytics support for versions 7.2.0 through 7.4.0 are no longer necessary. ## Carthage XCFrameworks are required to include the arm64 slice for iOS devices and the macOS simulator for Macs running on Apple silicon. Unfortunately, Carthage does not support XCFrameworks yet which prevents us from being able to include support. See [Carthage/Carthage#2799](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage/issues/2799) for progress.
