Our project was done by myself and one other developer.

Is a consistent connection an absolute requirement or is it resilient enough that temporary loss in connectivity will not impact the debug session?įrom my experience, I would recommend the MacBook Pro.įor our project we used an older Mac Pro as the Mac Build Host that was sitting around the office while developing on windows machines. I can just imagine pulling my hair out half-way thru a debugging session when the VPN suddenly drops for a few seconds but then restores a few seconds later. This might seem like a stupid question, but from your experience how important is the network connection from a firstly a build compile perspective and then also from a debugging experience. Network latency - obviously this is hugely dependant on your network infrastructure, but we do work from home for 2-3 days a week over a VPN connection that can sometimes be unstable/not too fast.Will it even be possible for more than one developer to debug an iOS application against the same Mac Mini at the same time? Are the resources shared in some way or is it a matter of first-in wins?.

I was wondering whether anybody else has got some experience and can give me their view on questions like:

However, I've got a few concerns w.r.t performance and also working as a team sharing the Mac Mini(s). Having the Mac Mini locked up in the server room is a compromise that they are willing to make. Being a Windows shop our IT department is not keen on growing the landscape to include MacBook's from a support point of view. We are facing similiar issues and are planning to go the Mac Mini route. But I prefer a MacBook Pro because my job usually requires me to work outside of the office at times. This work well most of the time, but once you start opening up multiple Visual Studio instances or even SQLServer Developer, things get a little laggy here and there.īut to answer your question, at a bare minimum, a Mac Mini works fine and is more cost effective. If you only have 8GB of RAM, and run a Windows 8 VM, then you only can have a max of 4GB for the host OS, and the VM. If you go the VM route (whether Mac Mini or MacBook Pro), my only advice is don't cheap out on RAM. I have a MacBook Pro, and use VMWare Fusion running a Windows 8 VM and develop iOS apps.

So you can use Visual Studio to code and the iOS Simulator to debug your app. Running in "Unity" or "Coherance" mode give you the illusion that your running your Windows apps (like Visual Studio) on a Mac.

Alternatively, you can install a Windows VM using VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Those hook up on the Mac Side, not the windows side. The only caveat is that you'll need to switch over to the Mac Mini to use the Simulator, or debug on a device. You can use it as the build server, and use another Windows PC/Laptop to run Visual Studio. Hardware cost, Mac Mini is the least expensive, and it works really well for iOS development.
