[Qgis-user] QGIS on ARM-macOS

[Saber Razmjooei]

For https://inputapp.io we have put together an SDK to compile QGIS and all
its dependencies on iOS:
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input-sdk

It should be straightforward to use the sdk for full-blown QGIS on another
ARM based architecture.

Kind regards
Saber
