Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs)

To support distribution of a single development artefact, Apple uses an “XCframework” structure - a wrapper around multiple ABIs that implement a common API.

However, in order to avoid exhausting macOS runner resources, a GitHub Actions run for iOS will not be added as part of the standard CI configuration.
