After 5 years with my 2019 MacBook pro, I finally decided to make the upgrade to Apple Silicon for my main development machine.
I’m going to freeze my old software (which supports macOS through Sonoma, and Windows 7 through 11) and target the new version my the software for the future only, supporting only Apple Silicon and Windows 11 or later, possibly Windows 10 (TBD)
I’d like to do all my development on my new M4 MacBook Pro if possible, including Windows development.
What technologies should I use?
-
Use Xojo to build a Windows ARM version, and Remote debug to a Windows ARM VM?
-
Use Xojo to build a Windows Intel version, and Remote debug to a Windows ARM VM? Does the Windows built-in Intel to ARM translation work well? Does Remote debugging work this way?
-
What VM tools? I have been using both VMWare Fusion and Parallels, but I’m open to other VM hosts.
I have a bunch of old macOS and Intel Windows machines around for testing if necessary, but I’d like to spend most of my time on my mac.
