Thanks to Niklas for taking care of the release. You should see my +1 vote
so it should be good to go now. Definitely not worth blocking the release,
especially on a platform with such low relevance.

I do actually use cordova-osx as a quick way to test my SQLite plugin work
before going through testing on iOS simulator & device.

Moving forward, an idea could be to make a new cordova-mac or cordova-macos
platform as a fork off of cordova-ios, maybe even as an unofficial
platform. This would be a similar idea to how they have "out-of-tree"
platforms for Windows, macOS, etc. on React Native.

In terms of changing the CPU, I suspect that should be at worse a
"breaking" build change that would affect Xcode projects and libraries. But
yeah, definitely good to note.
