I was watching highlights of WWDC and they mentioned that they're adding support to XCode to migrate iPad apps to the desktop.

I subscribe to the theory that the Air will move to ARM at some point. Adding this feature to XCode sounds like the sort of thing you would do to prepare the way for an architecture shift. Especially if you were still on the fence about that shift. Let's just get a feel of how viable this space is before committing to anything.

Except the change to XCode is a direct conflict of interest with moving MacBooks to ARM platform. If they are moving to ARM soon, there is no point in adding a brand new feature to the IDE that helps convert ARM apps to x86 apps. The reason Apple is doing so is due to the new Ipad OS that resembles desktop interface.
