yes, I know osxcrooss but it is not legal to use if you aren't developing on apple hardware which makes it a bit cumbersome. Grep for "Authorized Test Units" in the xcode license linked in the repo.
It literally says (section 2.2, Permitted Uses and Restrictions):
"Install a reasonable number of copies of the Apple Software on Apple-branded computers"
- seba_dos1 8y agoIt's likely enough that such a statement will be considered void when tested in EU court (as you can safely reverse engineer software for interoperability purposes) that I don't care.
- jcelerier 8y ago> (as you can safely reverse engineer software for interoperability purposes) but here you're not reverse engineering, you're copying proprietary software for which you don't have a license. Reverse engineering is allowed if you have the right to use the original software ; you certainly don't have the right to reverse-engineer e.g. a software that you would find on a CD somewhere in a park without a license attached.
