If you're doing this as a business, do not go the hackintosh route- you won't get any level of stability and it will suck to work on one for 8+ hrs/day with bad driver support. Just buy a used mac mini on Craigslist or something - in the long run it won't be worth your time to cheap out here.
- yid 15y agoOut of curiosity, do you have any experience with which pieces of hardware cause problems? For iOS dev, I can only forsee requiring functional display and Ethernet drivers.
- ssebro 15y agoTBH, my real problem was that IOS development (with new sdks) basically requires you to keep upgrading your macos to the latest version, which was irritating since you needed to do it often and since for someone with a hackintosh, its not trivial. Even with functional display and ethernet drivers, if your mouse/trackpad doesn't work well, or your music doesn't work it kinda sucks (IMHO).
