have you looked into hackintoshing?
- derefr 10y agoI would note that, if you want to Mackintosh specifically for the sake of compiling OSX/iOS executables, it's far easier to set up a computer to run a bare-metal hypervisor that knows how to run OSX virtual machines (e.g. VMWare ESXi), than it is to directly set up the same computer to run OSX directly. (Source: did both over the last month.)
- kybernetyk 10y agoIIRC I had "build platform nut supported" errors coming back from iTunes Connect when I tried submitting a build from my Hackintosh. I guess Apple can detect if you're running on a Hackintosh. For example Netflix won't play on my Hackintosh without installing Silverlight. Invalid DRM keys or something.
- mdorazio 10y agoYes, I did. As others have pointed out, that tends to go poorly if you plan to actually develop, test, and publish OSX or iOS apps for a few reasons. I've read reports of some people getting it to work, but it's generally a hugely painful process and tends to break whenever there's an update.
