iPhone Development on Hackintosh
I really want to get started, but man are those Macs expensive...especially for a non-US like me.
I'm thinking about trying to run OS X in VMWare. But would this prohibit me from doing iPhone development? I will gladly buy a copy of OS X to give Apple their due...
Thanks, Makil
Yes, its possible. But, issue is that iPhone SDK gets frequent updates and requires updated version of Mac OS X - updating hackintosh is pain (you can do better development on MacMini instead of wasting time to upgrade) and you will never know when your hackintosh will be unbootable!
USB, Audio are another issues I have seen in hackintosh.
I've tried, but I haven't successfully run OS/X in VMware. I do know someone who's successfully developed iPhone apps on a hackintosh, but getting your hackintosh set up is quite difficult.
I'm in the same boat, I don't want to shell out foir a Mac until I know I'm comfortable with the toolchain, and I'd like to get a feel for iPhone development using my current hardware. Interested to hear of others experiences.
