I'm interested in getting a mini 9 to do some iPhone development. Has anyone run XCode successfully on a Hackintosh mini 9? If so, are there any known issues (e.g. running the emulator, compile time issues, etc.)?

Hi,

Works fine for me - I use it for exactly this.

The full simulator screen does not fit on the mini9 but the usable bit does and so thats fine.

I've run Xcode, IB and Simulator.

Compiling is a little slower, but only really noticeable on the first build - after that, a lot is cached. My projects are generally quite small - 60 files or less.

I have 2gb ram in my mini9.

Regards,
Chris

Small projects are fine. Bigger projects don't work for me because the mini 9 screen is too small. When you have lots of windows open (tools), it gets congested. Hook your mini 9 to an external monitor and you'll see what I mean.

Haven't used XCode.app on my Mini 9 yet, but I have it installed for the compiler support (for MacPorts, etc), and those run just fine. The Atom processor has more power than my old G4 that I used to code on.
