+## [Install macOS/iOS universal binaries](cmd_install_universal.py)
+
+Install dependent packages as universal binaries packages.
+Conan v2 introduces support for multiple architectures, e.g. -s arch=armv8|x86_64
+however this is largely limited to CMake.
+
+For CMake-based project that only depends on other CMake-based recipes, it's now
+possible to run:
+
+```
+conan install . -pr:h universal -pr:b default -b missing
+conan build . -pr:h universal -pr:b default
+```
+
+However, many other recipes use autotools or other build systems that don't support
+universal binaries. This command skips the usual build() / package() steps and
+runs lipo when a universal package is needed.
+
+**This command is in an experimental stage, feedback is welcome.**
+
+**Parameters**
+* supports all arguments used by `conan install`, see `conan install-universal --help`
+
+This is implemented with the following steps:
+
+1. Calculate the universal packages to build, as with `conan graph build-order`
+2. Build these references for each architecture (ignoring the -b argument and building any
+   required dependencies).
+3. Restart the install with the universal profile and -b 'never'. The recipes are replaced with
+   code to run lipo on the single architecture packages.
+
+Note: this command builds for each architecture with and some arguments
+may break something. This command may load the local cache with
+both universal and single architecture binaries if they need to be built.
+
+**Profile**
+The multi-architecture must be specified in the host profile.
+The build profile will likely be a single architecture, although the default
+binary compatibility plugin does not know that universal binaries can be used
+for single architecture profiles.
+
+```
+[settings]
+arch=armv8|x86_64
+build_type=Release
+compiler=apple-clang
+compiler.cppstd=17
+compiler.libcxx=libc++
+compiler.version=15
+os=Macos
+os.version=11.0
+```
+
+Also make sure to use += not = if you define CXXFLAGS or you will override the -arch flag
+to autotools.
+
+```
+[buildenv]
+CFLAGS+=-fvisibility=hidden
+CXXFLAGS+=-fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden
+```
+
+Usage:
+```
+conan install-universal . -pr:h universal -pr:b default -b missing
+conan build . -pr:h universal -pr:b default
+```
