A friend showed me this link: http://www.pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/

I am not interested in it, but maybe someone here needs it.

Ha! I like what this guy is doing, but those Apple lawyers are vipers.

And because of the way the Darwin dynamic linker works, these stubs are enough for the linker to build iOS binaries : the linker doesn't need to look at the real code with which to link, it only needs to know that it exists on the device on which the app is to be run.


my biggest issue is that i don't think you can compile for the latest iOS, if he's using open source headers.

Another thing is submitting to apple is gonna be a pain as they will reject it if it isn't created on a mac they are funny like that.

I use VMWare on Windows 7 for that. Works great.


Raul(Posted 2014) [#5]
yeah I used VMWare too for Crystals of Time and Girls with Secrets. It was ok for little tests and to make the final build.

+1 VMWare and Windows 7

What is cost for VMWare + iOS ?


dragon(Posted 2014) [#8]
any idea, how can i run OSX on VMWare...
i use WMWare or VirtualBox - but it is soooo slow...
(my hardware is fast on other side)

i downloaded OSX10.9 from Apple, but was unable to install on VM :-/

I use vmware workstation and followed these instructions

It is slow, but tolerable.

I installed MacOSX to VBox and VMWare and stop on VMWare for MacOS X.
It is really fast for me on my i7 laptop with hdds (no ssd has enough space and resonable cost).
No flickering for html5 canvas games (as was in VBox), stable, working sharing folders and clipboard exchanging from box.

So I have VBox+VMware+HAXM on the laptop with Windows 8.1 as host OS. VMWare supports passing VM-T commands to guest OSes that do possible run WP8 simulator (based on Hyper-V) in a Win 8.1 guest.

The problem is limit of attached monitors to laptop (only one) and supporting fullhd display's resolution.

BTW, I downloaded ready maverics vmware image with installed darwin tools and vmware svga driver.
