Hello,
We have a couple of Xcode projects for our Product and when I open the existing project, for few of the apps( projects) it shows only Any Mac(Intel).(Not showing Any Mac(Apple Silicon, Intel)

What could be the problem here?

There are currently two Xcode 12 betas available.

Xcode 12 beta (12A6159).
Xcode 12 for macOS Universal Apps beta (12A8158a).

Only the 2. has support for compiling for Apple Silicon. Is that the Xcode you are using?

If you are using 2. then perhaps in your build settings you have Architectures set to something other than Standard Architectures? It might be worth checking this is set correctly for all your targets and for the project.

I had this same issue where Any Mac(Apple Silicon, Intel) did not show up. But, it was only on some projects. What fixed it for me is deleting old

Code Block VALID_ARCHS

build settings that had been moved to user-defined.

On another project,

Code Block ARCHITECTURES

is not in the build settings at all. And

Code Block VALID_ARCHS

is in user-defined. But, strangely, Any Mac(Apple Silicon, Intel) appears!

So, I'm not positive that deleting

Code Block VALID_ARCHS

is completely the solution. It just worked for me and Any Mac(Apple Silicon, Intel) showed up when I deleted it on at least one project.
