[v2024.03.17] - 2024-03-17

Full Changelog

Highlights:

• Added support for ARM64 Simulator, and moved to .xcframework format for built artifacts
• Removed bitcode support, as is now deprecated by Apple
• Kivy recipe version now targets 2.3.0
• Python3 has been updated to 3.11.x

⚠️ Due to changes required by the switch from the static lib artifact libname.a to libname.xcframework, and other minor changes, a migration of your existing projects need to be performed.
