Buy Apple Macbook Pro to develop apps
    #19339705 - 12/29/13 12:18 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I was going to try and put OS X Mavericks onto my home built computer, but then found out it would be very difficult to figure it out on an AMD processor. I don't have a job right now so I can't compensate buying an 15" Apple Macbook Pro for $2000 to develop apps. Apple Store offers you 70% of earnings to your approved application. I need xCode which is a Mac IDE application, therefore I need the Mac too.  If I find a job I will just buy the Macbook Pro and practice coding!

Perhaps try and virtualize your Mac OS X version? I think that could be a viable solution. Check out VMWare and you should be able to do it.


Check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2406151/can-you-run-xcode-in-linux It doesn't seem like you can run the full xCode on something other than a Mac computer, but it seems like you can run the barebone essence of xCode on a Linux box.

I'm thinking that I'd put 100% dedication into developing apps for iPhone/iPad and therefore I deserve the Macbook Pro.  I'm hardcore with coding and have a BS Computer Science degree to back it up.  Just do it!

Forget about buying a mac and start coding android apps.

I think virtualizing would suck, still have to have some compatible chipsets for audio/lan, compatible graphics card for graphics accel...  I'd just rebuild with a quad core intel, get a good gigabyte board  (those tend to get along famously with hackintoshing), and something cheap nvidia kepler graphics card like a 650ti.... that should make for an easy hackintosh... i have a drive running os x on my desktop, much faster than my $2800 15" rMBP and every bit as stable.  If cost is an issue, build the hack (but build around highly compatible components, that makes all the difference - intel/nvidia kepler & good gigabyte board with good audio/lan chipsets).


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Yes I know I'd get very discouraged having to develop apps thru some virtual environment.  I'd rather save up for the Mac than have to build a Hackintosh.

Coding for Android sounds like a good idea. I see it uses Java.  I want to stick with objective-c and xCode for now.  It would be good to know which app markets pays most for sw development.

It really just depends on how well your code is written and if people find that what you made is useful. You can easily take the code written in Objective-C and translate it into Java if your a somewhat competent programmer, so I would not worry too much about marketplaces. For your first app just focus on designing something useful or fun that doesn't crash.
