Never built on Apple, last time I tried:

it asked me to update Xcode;

Xcode asked me to update the OS first;

and the OS asked me to buy a new 1300$€ MacBook hardware (with similar specs, the one I was using wasn't even that old/slow).

So to quote Rick and Morty i though: "That's just subscription with extra steps!" - and made a windows program and an Android app.

I hope you also have a good internet connection because even in 2025, MacOS is incapable of resuming downloads.

What are you talking about?

I had to redownload 4 times xcode from the Mac App Store because any problem when downloading breaks it.

I think it's the last modern OS which can't resume downloads.

That is not an OS issue but an issue with the App Store. Also this is not true. I just tried it: https://youtu.be/Z6v1adrsqQM

I guess you have some kind of issue with your clock or io issues which corrupts the package. Are you using a vm?

No I was on real hardware, resuming with the button works but I guess it was cut in the middle by a wifi issue and in this case it just errors out.
