+#### Development on Apple Mac (M1 or newer)
+
+For developers using Apple Mac (M1 or newer) we suggest to use the prebuilt FPC dev container.
+Add the following configuration to your `config.override.mk`, pull the docker images and start the FPC dev container as described above in [Option 1: Using the Docker-based FPC Development Environment](#option-1-using-the-docker-based-fpc-development-environment).
+Note that SGX is not supported on Apple platforms, and hence, FPC chaincode can only be used in simulation mode.
+Alternatively, a cloud-based development environment can be used with SGX HW support, see our tutorial [How to use FPC with Azure Confidential Computing](samples/deployment/azure/FPC_on_Azure.md).
