Dear Gilbert,
it would obviously great to have something like Win-builder/R-hub for the
architecture of the M1 macs. I had an issue with the RcppCWB package I maintain
in January and I could not get hold of a M1 Mac mini quickly. So I resorted to
hiring one with MacStadium (https://www.macstadium.com/). That worked nicely and
I had a testing environment within a few hours. But it is an expensive solution
(~ 100$ per month)!
In the meantime I got myself a Mac mini... Great machine, but obviously not
everybody should not be forced to buy one. So it would be great to learn whether
there are plans to offer testing environments for Apple M1.

Paul,
this is being worked on. As you can imagine testing over 17,000 package in a M1
Mac mini isn't quite trivial. The first priority was to get the nightly R
builds to work. Second was to get CRAN package builds to work. Third is to
provide checks. The first two have finished last week and the checks have been
running for the past two days. Unfortunately, some pieces (like XQuartz) are
still not quite stable so it takes more manual interventions than one would
expect. We are at close to 16k packags checked, so we're getting there.
As for EvalEst the check has finished so I have:
Running ?dse2tstgd2.R? [13s/14s]
Running the tests in ?tests/dse2tstgd2.R? failed.
Last 13 lines of output:

max.error,"\n")
, some FAILED! max.error = 1.065814e-14

Error: Some tests FAILED
Execution halted
when I run it by hand I get ok for all but:
