I can produce last generation Android Apps on my LeNovo x230 Linux and this comfortably, anyone else?

I can produce any generation iOS Apps on my Mac Book very comfortably :)

@Lensflare You forgot something: what gen is your MAGAbook? my Linux machine is about 15 years old.

And your MAGABook is proprietary DUH, experiment freedom and an elevated consciousness don't be a tool DUH. OSX is a boring and stupid OS, why it's boring? because it's proprietary just like Windows.

@afaik2 ok let‘s address your points :)

Have you deleted the comment where you are saying that mac os is built on linux? I might have hallucinated it, but if I didn’t:
No, it’s built on Unix, not Linux. :)

My mac is from 2023. But if it was old enough, I wouldn’t be able to produce any gen ios apps with it, so that criticism is valid.

I don’t care if the os is boring. I care about if I can work with it and if it doesn’t constantly piss me off like Windows does.

I don’t care about all of the political crap I don’t care if it’s proprietary. It’s my tool and it works well.
You seem to be the one who is using his OS as a political statement and a lifestyle, not me :)

"No, it’s built on Unix, not Linux. :)"

I know it, Netbsd, Freebsd, real (free of rights) Unix systems.

Politics!!!! why Freebsd was born? because of politics!!!

@Lensflare I thought apple had some pretty hard restrictions for which versions you are still allowed to compile apps for, no?

@12bitfloat compiling for a min ios version is not the same as compiling with a min sdk.

You can go pretty far back with ios support and it can take decades until you‘re not able to use the latest and required tools for apps that are released on the app store with old macs.

What you probably mean is that apple forces you to use an sdk at most 2 years old to make new apps or app updates.
And that is only a problem when your mac is too old to support that sdk. But it has to be really old for that to happen.

@Lensflare Ah, so its more nuanced than that :P

"forces you to use an sdk at most 2 years old"

Haha 2 years that's a lot!

@12bitfloat As @Lensflare mentioned, the only requirement is to compile your apps using the SDKs that can't be too old.

It's very similar to Android's targetSdkVersion vs minSdkVersion.

iOS: https://developer.apple.com/news/... .

Android: https://developer.android.com/googl... .

Bookmarking those is kinda advisable.

@D-4got10-01 tbf, it’s pretty confusing and I often mix up those as well.

@Lensflare That's true. It's usually apparent only after you've found && read the docs.
