Never built on Apple, last time I tried:
it asked me to update Xcode;
Xcode asked me to update the OS first;
and the OS asked me to buy a new 1300$€ MacBook hardware (with similar specs, the one I was using wasn't even that old/slow).
So to quote Rick and Morty i though: "That's just subscription with extra steps!" - and made a windows program and an Android app.
Yes, I gave up on Apple too after my Intel Celeron box could not be used
I hope you also have a good internet connection because even in 2025, MacOS is incapable of resuming downloads.
Exactly. Apparently Apple still finds enough idiots who perform that dance, but they've lost me. I can only hope others will follow and xtool looks like it can help.
