As a longtime Mac user, I really wish that Apple would make it possible to compile iOS apps on iPad. Not for myself, but for the developers who are only on the Mac for iOS development. I don't think it does anyone any good to force them to be in a place where they don't want to be. I have no ill will against iOS developers, but I also don't want them to transform the Mac into something non-Mac. Mac has always been a "niche" platform, and that's fine! Let the users who are here voluntarily stay, and let the users who are here only "by force" go to a platform that suits their needs better, perhaps iPad. If Xcode for iPad can facilitate that, I'm all in favor.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoI also wish this. I have been getting by using a family member's machine to build iOS apps on, but if I were just on Mac to build iOS apps every now and then, I'd be complaining about Mac all day online honestly. It's just not my cup of tea. Like water and oil together, but I'm sure for some people it's everything they want in a computer
