![]() ![]() Has anyone heard of or maybe experienced fruitful development of iOS apps on a virtual OS X machine, which would mean getting an iOS app signing certificate to be used by Xcode running on that VM, and actually submitting an app to the App Store from the VM?Įven if such thing is technically possible, are there any legal obstacles buried somewhere in the license agreement(s) I would have to agree to while enrolling into the Apple's developer program? (Ahh, something's telling me there are. (Un)fortunately, the times when people would buy Macs to lick them, as Steve Jobs' famous words would suggest, are over. VMware Fusion will not officially support Windows 10 on M1 Macs at launch. I would really like to avoid the purchase. VMware Fusion for M1 Macs will be quite limited in scope, with a focus on virtualizing Arm-based Linux distributions. It's a significant amount of money and I would rather save them for something more useful. ![]() ![]() In any case, even though Xcode might suspect that it's in an "alien" environment, it hasn't shown a single sign of it so far and works totally O.K.)Īnd, as the time of enrolling into the Apple's developer program is approaching, I wonder do I really have to shrink the development budget by $1000-$1500 or so to purchase a physical Mac as Apple would expect me to do. (However, the names of nearly all the (virtual) devices of the virtual machine have a "VMware" in them, which makes the VM not so real in the Apple's eyes if Xcode gathers and reports machine statistics during installation or app submission. iOS devices connect via USB to the virtual machine's iTunes and Xcode just fine, like it was a real Mac. I find working on projects being pretty efficient with the combined power of all the software installed on the two operating systems, which happily communicate through the VMware's shared folder. Things are very smooth and, unlike one would imagine, there's almost no sluggish behavior. With this tutorial, you’ll be able to run VMware Fusion on an M1 MacBook or M2 MacBook, or any other Mac that uses Apple Silicon, including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Studio. Everything works just perfect, including the latest version of Xcode. ![]() I'm on Windows and I've got the latest version of OS X (10.7.4) running as a virtual machine on VMware Workstation. ![]()
