Why Apple’s New M1 Chips Are Essential for Rapid iOS Development
Wonder if they've looked at Bazel and rules_ios [1] (or similar)? Bazel brings caching and reproducible builds (all but eliminating the need for clean builds) in addition to transparent remote build execution. I haven't use the iOS rules, but I'm pretty sure that Square and some other large companies do, and Reddit just posted [2] about their own transition.

iOS and Bazel at Reddit: A Journey
Finally, we are to a place where we have a reliable/truthful representation of targets to access in Bazel. As alluded to in the State of the World section, Reddit has many frameworks that combine Swift and Objective-C to deliver functionality and this meant that we needed a Bazel ruleset that supported these mixed language frameworks. Since Bazel’s “default” rules are built to handle single-language targets, we tested a few open source options and ended up selecting https://github.com/bazel-ios/rules_ios. The rules_ios ruleset is used by a handful of other big players in the mobile industry and has an active open source community. Fortunately for Reddit, rules_ios also comes with a CocoaPods plugin that makes it easy to generate Bazel’s BUILD.bazel files from a CocoaPod setup called https://github.com/bazel-ios/cocoapods-bazel. The combination of these two items was the last piece of the puzzle to add “real” Bazel representations for our:
