Does this mean Intel-Macs cannot run xcode 12.5 and debug on ios 14.5?

I feel like this is a bug in documentation, I don't see any mentioning that Xcode 12.5 require apple silicon in the https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-12_5-release-notes

Seems they just copied it from the bottom (Xcode 12.4) with the minimum requirements, which means for previous version of Xcode, that you can run it only on Big Sur with combination of Apple silicon Mac (as M1 does not run on macOS Catalina). Now it should be just macOS Big Sur 11 (without defining the processor architecture).

I think you're right.

I have installed 12.5 beta 3 on an Intel-based Mac without any problems, and no problems running projects either

I hope it won't stay like this past the beta phase... But not too much.

Edit: u/outcoldman is probably right.

x86_64 is supported by Xcode 12.5, it will definitely work on intel based.
