00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.480
Let's talk about my Mac developer
setup on my brand new Mac mini M4 Pro
00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:09.409
and how I've been able to completely
customize it to build for iOS, Android,
00:00:09.429 --> 00:00:14.080
Mac, Windows, and a backend services,
front end web applications, serverless
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.300
compute, IOT, and so much more.
00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:18.529
I want to talk you through
everything that I did to get my
00:00:18.529 --> 00:00:20.830
Mac set up and how I replaced
00:00:23.230 --> 00:00:26.380
this thing, my custom built PC with.
00:00:29.785 --> 00:00:33.525
This insert Photoshopped
Mac mini M4 pro here.
00:00:33.905 --> 00:00:34.735
Let's get into it.
00:00:45.295 --> 00:00:45.595
Everyone.
00:00:45.595 --> 00:00:46.495
I'm James and I'm back.
00:00:46.495 --> 00:00:46.955
I exist.
00:00:46.995 --> 00:00:48.665
This is the channel where
I totally do development.
00:00:48.675 --> 00:00:50.385
I promise you I am here.
00:00:50.685 --> 00:00:53.395
Uh, and I wanted to talk a little
bit about my Mac developer setup.
00:00:53.415 --> 00:00:57.544
I did a recent video up here, up
down there, wherever it is talking
00:00:57.545 --> 00:01:02.385
about how to get VS code set up for
NET MAUI application development.
00:01:02.555 --> 00:01:05.555
On Mac, how to install and get
all the dependencies set up
00:01:05.555 --> 00:01:06.485
and everything you need to do.
00:01:06.525 --> 00:01:08.095
So if you're looking for
that, check it out here.
00:01:08.435 --> 00:01:10.985
I'm not going to walk through like
actual installation and setup, but
00:01:10.985 --> 00:01:14.744
I just want to walk through my Mac,
everything that I have here first, you
00:01:14.745 --> 00:01:16.185
might be wondering what is in my Mac.
00:01:16.195 --> 00:01:19.435
Well, here is the specs.
00:01:19.754 --> 00:01:21.204
Uh, Frank Krueger and I.
00:01:21.460 --> 00:01:23.060
Uh, record merge conflict.
00:01:23.110 --> 00:01:27.470
And we also decided to not conflict on
getting a new machine, which was our
00:01:27.470 --> 00:01:29.640
machines were up for sort of a refresh.
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:33.960
And we decided to go all in on the
Mac mini M4 pro and upgrade just
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:35.860
about everything, only differences.
00:01:35.890 --> 00:01:39.739
I got two terabytes and he got four
terabytes, but we upgraded the Ram.
00:01:39.770 --> 00:01:43.890
We upgraded the CPU and GPUs and we
upgraded the hard drives as well.
00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:48.180
Yes, it's an expensive machine,
but all of my custom built windows
00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:50.530
machines also have been pricey as well.
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:50.949
As I put.
00:01:51.005 --> 00:01:52.345
Premium parts in them.
00:01:52.345 --> 00:01:53.725
So they last a long time.
00:01:54.074 --> 00:01:58.095
My windows daily driver here, I believe
has lasted me at least like almost 10
00:01:58.104 --> 00:02:02.085
years, eight years at this point, which is
a great bang for the buck when you think
00:02:02.095 --> 00:02:05.095
about how long these devices can last.
00:02:05.115 --> 00:02:08.495
So that's why we went all
in on upgrading this model.
00:02:09.055 --> 00:02:12.185
Also, we wanted to go with something
small that fits right on our little desk.
00:02:12.185 --> 00:02:12.935
And it's so cute.
00:02:13.185 --> 00:02:17.285
My little Mac mini M four pro here is
sitting side by side my project Volterra,
00:02:17.295 --> 00:02:19.104
which is another daily driver that I have.
00:02:19.404 --> 00:02:22.514
So I have two arm machines for
both windows and Mac, which
00:02:22.515 --> 00:02:24.074
is absolutely delightful.
00:02:24.434 --> 00:02:27.934
So far, I've been really, really throwing
just about every single thing I can
00:02:28.024 --> 00:02:32.245
at the Mac mini M four pro, and it's
been awesome to be honest with you.
00:02:32.454 --> 00:02:35.614
There are quirks, of course, as
I'm not traditionally a Mac person.
00:02:35.635 --> 00:02:37.024
I'm more of a windows person.
00:02:37.024 --> 00:02:40.975
In fact, we'll talk about my
windows experience on macOS as
00:02:40.975 --> 00:02:44.265
well, but I want to go ahead and
start to walk through my setup.
00:02:45.155 --> 00:02:45.515
Okay.
00:02:45.655 --> 00:02:47.414
First things first is that here I am.
00:02:47.435 --> 00:02:49.565
I'm sort of a high task bar type of guy.
00:02:49.565 --> 00:02:49.924
That's right.
00:02:49.924 --> 00:02:50.364
That's me.
00:02:50.614 --> 00:02:53.695
But let's take a look at my task
bar down here, uh, specifically.
00:02:53.695 --> 00:02:57.234
So first and foremost, what you're
going to see is I just have all of my
00:02:57.234 --> 00:03:00.945
developer tool chain all set up here and
we can throw just about anything at it.
00:03:01.310 --> 00:03:03.740
So I can boot up Android studio over here.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.459
Uh, everything that I need.
00:03:05.529 --> 00:03:08.969
I can boot up Arduino IDE
so I can do IOT development.
00:03:09.010 --> 00:03:09.779
There it is.
00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:11.849
I was recently doing
some holiday hacks there.
00:03:12.140 --> 00:03:16.199
I can boot up Xcode over here
and, uh, boom, there it is.
00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:20.000
I can boot up Xcodes to
manage all of my Xcodes.
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.480
I can boot up, uh, the iTerm.
00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:27.180
I'm using iTerm2 here and PowerShell,
uh, scripts to get in with OhMyPosh.
00:03:27.584 --> 00:03:28.015
So here we go.
00:03:28.015 --> 00:03:29.765
Let me go and get a
little bit bigger here.
00:03:29.765 --> 00:03:30.675
Boop, boop, boop.
00:03:30.734 --> 00:03:31.305
Perfect.
00:03:31.685 --> 00:03:32.185
There we go.
00:03:32.685 --> 00:03:35.535
And I can boot up other things
like dev toys, for example.
00:03:35.545 --> 00:03:37.515
So here's dev toys,
which is an awesome app.
00:03:37.734 --> 00:03:41.245
It gives you a whole bunch of developer
y goodness right here on your machine.
00:03:41.614 --> 00:03:45.225
And of course, the thing I'm going to
spend most of my time in is Visual Studio
00:03:45.225 --> 00:03:49.645
code, not to mention at the same time
that I have VS code open, I also have.
00:03:49.965 --> 00:03:51.445
Docker as well.
00:03:51.485 --> 00:03:52.965
So I can run Docker right here.
00:03:53.305 --> 00:03:56.835
And what we can see is that I have full
Docker running, everything that I need
00:03:56.865 --> 00:03:59.865
on my machine, I just installed it and
then go ahead and do whatever I want.
00:03:59.885 --> 00:04:01.215
So there's Docker set up, right?
00:04:01.215 --> 00:04:04.524
So I'm kind of throwing everything
that I possibly can at it over
00:04:04.524 --> 00:04:06.265
here, inside of visual studio code.
00:04:06.265 --> 00:04:09.804
Of course, I have all my favorite bits
and extensions I could possibly want
00:04:09.804 --> 00:04:13.355
that I showed in that video, including
all the Maui extensions, Android
00:04:13.355 --> 00:04:15.615
extensions, Azure integrations here.
00:04:15.625 --> 00:04:19.464
And of course, get a copilot, which has
a new GitHub copilot free tier as well.
00:04:19.464 --> 00:04:20.644
So definitely check that out.
00:04:20.925 --> 00:04:23.075
If you haven't been playing around
with GitHub copilot, I use it.
00:04:23.185 --> 00:04:26.425
Every single day, all the time in GitHub.
00:04:26.465 --> 00:04:28.565
com, Visual Studio and VS code.
00:04:29.395 --> 00:04:29.675
Okay.
00:04:29.695 --> 00:04:32.714
So a few other cool things here is
that, yeah, I can just open up, for
00:04:32.714 --> 00:04:34.344
example, like Android emulators.
00:04:34.354 --> 00:04:37.114
So here, I'm just going to boot
up an Android emulator running
00:04:37.115 --> 00:04:38.904
right there, immediate, right?
00:04:38.935 --> 00:04:42.005
So if I want to, I could go
ahead and toggle this down here.
00:04:42.005 --> 00:04:45.835
Let me set, uh, uh, that
as the, the target device.
00:04:46.665 --> 00:04:47.265
There we go.
00:04:47.985 --> 00:04:48.875
I'm just going to hit run.
00:04:48.940 --> 00:04:53.469
And now my NET MAUI application
is going to be compiled up and
00:04:53.469 --> 00:04:55.440
then deployed right over to my.
00:04:55.840 --> 00:04:57.219
Android emulator, right?
00:04:57.250 --> 00:05:00.940
So I have everything sort of in one
place that I could possibly want.
00:05:00.969 --> 00:05:02.900
And now it's going
through all of the launch.
00:05:02.909 --> 00:05:04.139
Now what's nice about this, right?
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:07.630
As I'm not only just recording this
video, but at the same time, I have
00:05:07.659 --> 00:05:09.239
all of these applications running.
00:05:09.239 --> 00:05:10.919
I'm doing a full build compilation.
00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:12.140
I have an emulator up and running.
00:05:12.140 --> 00:05:15.650
I have Docker up and running and
I could have a lot more as well.
00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:19.710
If I go into my activity monitor,
we can see that really actually
00:05:19.710 --> 00:05:23.880
like, yeah, there's not even
that much craziness happening.
00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:24.599
I haven't even really.
00:05:25.685 --> 00:05:26.315
Too much here.
00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:30.525
We are only using like 20 percent
of the CPU, 25 percent of the CPU.
00:05:30.835 --> 00:05:33.945
And a lot of that actually is
just the Android emulators kind
00:05:33.945 --> 00:05:34.925
of sitting there and running.
00:05:35.215 --> 00:05:37.474
And then our applications deployed, right?
00:05:37.475 --> 00:05:42.325
So we are doing a whole lot of things
all at once on our machine here.
00:05:42.625 --> 00:05:43.824
So here's our application.
00:05:43.835 --> 00:05:46.085
It's running just as
expected and I'm good to go.
00:05:46.745 --> 00:05:49.535
I could come over here and I could
of course, toggle that maybe over to
00:05:49.535 --> 00:05:52.735
my, I don't know, iOS simulator here.
00:05:52.735 --> 00:05:53.235
There we go.
00:05:54.049 --> 00:05:54.789
Boot that up.
00:05:55.340 --> 00:05:59.430
And sure enough, we're going to get
this thing running and it's just going
00:05:59.430 --> 00:06:01.729
to boot my iOS simulator as well.
00:06:02.150 --> 00:06:05.440
And what's really cool about
this is that every single tool is
00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:07.049
running just as we would expect.
00:06:07.049 --> 00:06:10.429
So if I bring up my Android
emulator again, everything is here.
00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:14.059
So let me talk a little bit now
that we have the applications and
00:06:14.059 --> 00:06:17.620
everything up and running, why I
need and have everything installed.
00:06:17.640 --> 00:06:19.560
So let me just go ahead and
minimize this stuff here.
00:06:19.650 --> 00:06:20.640
Look at all these windows.
00:06:20.650 --> 00:06:21.299
Crazy.
00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:22.139
Okay.
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:26.139
So the first things first here is
that I went through my developer
00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:28.039
setup guide a while back.
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:31.454
And normally what you need, of course,
is something like, you know, a.
00:06:31.855 --> 00:06:32.545
Terminal windows.
00:06:32.545 --> 00:06:35.505
So I have iTerm2 here
customized with OhMyPosh.
00:06:35.784 --> 00:06:38.844
So I can do all sorts of stuff like,
you know, uh, dir, for example,
00:06:38.844 --> 00:06:41.775
and get all my different like,
um, folders, everything like that.
00:06:41.784 --> 00:06:43.544
I can say cd GitHub.
00:06:44.065 --> 00:06:44.745
There we go.
00:06:44.855 --> 00:06:48.784
And I can do cd, uh,
let's see, let me LS it.
00:06:49.265 --> 00:06:49.715
There we go.
00:06:49.715 --> 00:06:52.645
A CD Maui app one.
00:06:52.775 --> 00:06:53.365
There we go.
00:06:53.515 --> 00:06:56.205
And then we can see, I have NET
nine installed on this machine
00:06:56.535 --> 00:06:58.305
and how long it's taking me to go.
00:06:58.305 --> 00:07:01.835
So I'm still trying to customize
my, oh, my posh, but I installed,
00:07:01.835 --> 00:07:03.175
I use PowerShell for everything.
00:07:03.185 --> 00:07:05.995
I love that I can not only
just dir, but I can also.
00:07:06.395 --> 00:07:08.275
LS and I just get everything.
00:07:08.275 --> 00:07:08.845
I just like that.
00:07:08.845 --> 00:07:11.005
I could use all my commands
all at once, which is cool.
00:07:11.705 --> 00:07:16.604
I of course have X code over here and
I also use X codes right over here
00:07:16.935 --> 00:07:19.265
to manage my X code installation.
00:07:19.265 --> 00:07:20.864
So here we can say I have 6.
00:07:20.864 --> 00:07:22.565
1 and I can easily install 6.
00:07:22.615 --> 00:07:25.385
2, which just recently came out last week.
00:07:25.615 --> 00:07:28.905
So based on what I need set up, I
can go and I can manage and I can
00:07:28.955 --> 00:07:33.445
uninstall, reinstall, do anything that
I want and make it my active project.
00:07:33.734 --> 00:07:35.895
This is nice because it's going
to allow me to do Mac development.
00:07:35.995 --> 00:07:41.255
iOS development, not only in Swift, but
obviously also in NET with NET MAUI.
00:07:41.905 --> 00:07:43.705
And of course I have any
provisioning profiles.
00:07:43.735 --> 00:07:45.615
It's going to allow me
to do everything there.
00:07:46.434 --> 00:07:50.095
Finally, of course I have Android
studio down here, which is going to
00:07:50.095 --> 00:07:54.075
allow me to not only just customize
and run my virtual devices, but also
00:07:54.085 --> 00:07:58.905
manage all of my SDKs that I may need
for NET MAUI development on my machine.
00:07:59.445 --> 00:08:01.905
So that is why I have Android
studio up and running.
00:08:02.909 --> 00:08:04.909
Of course, I have Arduino IDE here.
00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:08.650
I'm using that because I'm working
on some IOT devices, uh, things
00:08:08.650 --> 00:08:11.520
that I've been working on with
Frank, uh, which is really cool.
00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:14.490
So we're doing some different like
connections here for YouTube status.
00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:17.159
So hopefully you'll see that
in my background at some point.
00:08:17.850 --> 00:08:21.129
Now, of course, I also have Docker as
we would expect over here, which is
00:08:21.130 --> 00:08:24.480
kind of nice in case I start to do some
container development with NET Aspire.
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.110
For example.
00:08:25.885 --> 00:08:29.125
Another thing that you might see up here
as I have just sort of normal sort of
00:08:29.125 --> 00:08:33.825
things, uh, like time machine backup,
Elgato, uh, control center for my lights.
00:08:33.865 --> 00:08:36.674
And additionally, I have
something called a better display.
00:08:36.964 --> 00:08:40.594
This is an awesome little application that
helps me switch between, uh, different
00:08:40.595 --> 00:08:45.725
resolutions, easily refresh rates, screen
rotations, color profiles, and a lot more.
00:08:45.735 --> 00:08:47.105
It was a great recommendation for me.
00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:50.680
From all of you that have been
watching my videos and listening to the
00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:52.610
podcast and I'm on a free trial here.
00:08:52.610 --> 00:08:55.510
And I'm actually totally gonna
just give the developer 19.
00:08:55.510 --> 00:08:57.840
I think it's a really great app
and it's better than going back
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.210
and forth into the settings.
00:09:01.010 --> 00:09:03.960
Now, one thing you may have noticed
down here and all of my awesome tabs
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.940
that I have open is VMware fusion.
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:11.209
Now, often when we are developing.
00:09:12.135 --> 00:09:13.085
Applications.
00:09:13.125 --> 00:09:16.165
We not only need to develop
things on a Mac, but we also want
00:09:16.165 --> 00:09:17.545
to develop things on windows.
00:09:17.555 --> 00:09:19.115
I'm a huge fan of visual studios.
00:09:19.115 --> 00:09:20.595
My favorite IDE in the entire world.
00:09:20.615 --> 00:09:23.265
I use it almost every single
day, including on my Mac.
00:09:23.605 --> 00:09:26.805
Now there are lots of ways of running
windows on your Mac and there's
00:09:26.864 --> 00:09:29.119
awesome new arm support for doing that.
00:09:29.449 --> 00:09:33.920
Windows itself and pretty much arm
support for everything, every single
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:35.589
day that you could be doing on windows.
00:09:35.900 --> 00:09:39.449
I've been running a project Volterra
machine, uh, which is a windows arm
00:09:39.589 --> 00:09:43.379
developer device, uh, for years now
at this point, uh, at early bits and
00:09:43.380 --> 00:09:47.269
I have final production bits here, uh,
hardware, but I use it every single day
00:09:47.269 --> 00:09:49.229
at work and personally, like I have it.
00:09:49.380 --> 00:09:50.949
And I just run just anything Dr.
00:09:50.949 --> 00:09:53.040
Desktop runs on a visual
studio runs on it.
00:09:53.329 --> 00:09:55.480
Pretty much everything runs
on it, which is fantastic.
00:09:55.910 --> 00:10:01.390
So I've been using every day and I will
say this, that, uh, windows on Mac OS
00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:03.699
and arm all run super seamless together.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.859
And that's why I want to walk
through what this sort of setup looks
00:10:07.859 --> 00:10:12.020
like, because I'm actually hopping
back and forth between Mac OS and
00:10:12.020 --> 00:10:13.440
windows almost every single day.
00:10:15.974 --> 00:10:19.035
So the first thing here is there's
lots of ways of running windows, things
00:10:19.035 --> 00:10:21.824
like parallels, uh, there's other
applications that are out there, but
00:10:21.824 --> 00:10:26.814
there's also VMware fusion, VMware
fusion is a virtual environment here.
00:10:26.814 --> 00:10:27.974
So it's a virtual machine.
00:10:27.974 --> 00:10:31.724
So it has a big image on disc
and now I am running windows.
00:10:32.050 --> 00:10:35.350
Right here on my Mac
machine, you can see it.
00:10:35.370 --> 00:10:38.180
So it's in one window and
it's one sandbox that's there.
00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:40.610
I can put this thing
into full screen mode.
00:10:40.630 --> 00:10:44.389
And now it's basically like just
one full screen, but I am obviously
00:10:44.420 --> 00:10:46.100
inside of my Mac environment.
00:10:46.660 --> 00:10:47.910
So I can pop back and forth.
00:10:47.910 --> 00:10:49.570
I'm just going to go
ahead and set this here.
00:10:50.670 --> 00:10:53.989
Now, once I have this all set
up, I have full control of it.
00:10:54.139 --> 00:11:00.345
I have a bridge connection so I can,
uh, Automatically come in here and,
00:11:00.395 --> 00:11:05.525
uh, see under network, for example,
uh, here that it is shared with my Mac.
00:11:05.525 --> 00:11:06.375
So I have full internet.
00:11:06.404 --> 00:11:08.015
I can plug in USB devices.
00:11:08.025 --> 00:11:11.565
They're going to show up basically
exactly the same between, uh,
00:11:11.585 --> 00:11:14.109
my windows machine and my Mac.
00:11:14.970 --> 00:11:15.840
Uh, Mac machine.
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.160
So if I plug in an Android device,
I can say, connect that Android
00:11:19.170 --> 00:11:20.600
device to my windows machine.
00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:24.310
If I want to, I can go ahead and say,
plug that in and connect it to my
00:11:24.310 --> 00:11:26.550
Mac device, for example, and do that.
00:11:27.339 --> 00:11:29.660
So here I can just simply
say, build on windows.
00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:33.419
And now my NET MAUI application is
going to be compiled up and deployed
00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:38.160
directly inside of my windows virtual
machine here, and now I can do
00:11:38.170 --> 00:11:41.960
all of my windows development that
I need, which is really awesome.
00:11:42.049 --> 00:11:44.270
So, uh, my application.
00:11:44.525 --> 00:11:45.324
Boom up and running.
00:11:45.324 --> 00:11:48.464
It's the same one that you just saw a
second ago that was running on my Mac.
00:11:49.395 --> 00:11:55.145
Now there are a few quirks though, of
course, like I'm inside of a VM in a.
00:11:55.830 --> 00:11:59.030
Operating system and hardware
platform that doesn't allow nested
00:11:59.150 --> 00:12:02.400
hyper virtualization as well, which
means I can't really just go in here
00:12:02.400 --> 00:12:04.140
and start up an Android emulator.
00:12:04.699 --> 00:12:07.309
Now there are a few cool things
though, is that you can actually
00:12:07.329 --> 00:12:09.819
just run a few ADB commands.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.009
So over here on my Mac, I can open
up settings and here under sharing,
00:12:14.389 --> 00:12:17.880
uh, I can take a look and turn on
remote login and I can turn on.
00:12:18.215 --> 00:12:19.285
This remote login.
00:12:19.295 --> 00:12:21.645
So I can SSH in to this machine.
00:12:22.365 --> 00:12:24.805
So what I'm going to do over
here is I'm going to open up
00:12:24.954 --> 00:12:27.334
a few, uh, little prompts.
00:12:27.345 --> 00:12:31.895
So the first thing over here that I can
do is open up an ADB command terminal.
00:12:32.595 --> 00:12:35.854
And in our documentation, there are two
commands that you would need to run.
00:12:35.865 --> 00:12:41.805
So the first one here is basically, uh,
forwarding information packets and making
00:12:41.805 --> 00:12:47.355
a connection from localhost over to, uh,
the one, two, seven localhosts over SSH.
00:12:47.675 --> 00:12:49.085
So I'm just going to go
over here and I'm going to.
00:12:49.335 --> 00:12:50.005
Plug that in.
00:12:50.865 --> 00:12:51.405
Perfect.
00:12:51.415 --> 00:12:56.475
I'm just going to give it my password of
my Mac and now I'm actually SSH into it.
00:12:56.475 --> 00:12:59.265
So you can see my Zish
over here, which is great.
00:12:59.735 --> 00:13:00.404
Uh, cool.
00:13:01.064 --> 00:13:04.415
Now I have that Android emulator
that's running over here.
00:13:04.545 --> 00:13:08.755
Uh, so it's up and running and I'm going
to go ahead and connect to it from ADB.
00:13:08.775 --> 00:13:10.235
So I'm just going to go
ahead and hit copy here.
00:13:11.015 --> 00:13:12.795
I'm going to open up another.
00:13:13.465 --> 00:13:16.925
A little terminal window here
for ADB and plug that in.
00:13:17.295 --> 00:13:17.595
Awesome.
00:13:17.615 --> 00:13:18.455
So now I'm connected.
00:13:19.025 --> 00:13:23.605
What's cool about that is that now
over here, I can see under Android.
00:13:23.605 --> 00:13:27.954
I have my Android devices that
I can go ahead and deploy to.
00:13:31.054 --> 00:13:33.014
So now I have my Android
emulator over here.
00:13:33.014 --> 00:13:33.445
There it is.
00:13:33.445 --> 00:13:36.195
You can see the live preview
and this is running on my Mac.
00:13:36.195 --> 00:13:37.225
So you can actually see that over there.
00:13:37.225 --> 00:13:38.425
I can click, click, click, click, click.
00:13:38.775 --> 00:13:40.375
I can see it update in real time.
00:13:40.675 --> 00:13:44.505
So I get that same dev experience
either if I plug in a device
00:13:44.695 --> 00:13:45.835
or I do something else.
00:13:48.145 --> 00:13:49.325
And from here, there's a few
things that you could do.
00:13:49.325 --> 00:13:51.465
If you want to go to Mac, you
could go ahead and connect
00:13:51.465 --> 00:13:52.655
to your Mac and pair here.
00:13:52.895 --> 00:13:56.324
You can plug in an iOS device and
then you could do iOS hot restart,
00:13:56.324 --> 00:13:57.855
which I've done videos on as well.
00:13:58.045 --> 00:14:01.755
There's many ways of pairing your windows
device to your Mac machine as well.
00:14:04.525 --> 00:14:04.895
All right.
00:14:04.895 --> 00:14:05.594
Well, there you have it.
00:14:05.605 --> 00:14:08.994
That is my Mac setup that
I've been using so far.
00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:12.849
Let me know in the comments below
what your Mac setup is like, or if
00:14:12.849 --> 00:14:16.319
you found this information interesting
at all, and other questions you may
00:14:16.319 --> 00:14:20.089
have as I'm starting to like do my
development, both on Mac OS inside
00:14:20.089 --> 00:14:24.870
of Visual Studio Code and also inside
of Windows on my arm device here.
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:26.019
I absolutely love it.
00:14:26.099 --> 00:14:27.744
If you also got a Mac, uh, mini.
00:14:27.905 --> 00:14:29.995
M4 pro or M4 in general.
00:14:30.005 --> 00:14:32.815
Let me know what your optimizations
and customizations have been.
00:14:32.825 --> 00:14:37.145
I'd be super interested in continuing to
like, get more familiar with Mac OS and
00:14:37.145 --> 00:14:38.434
continue to be more productive as well.
00:14:38.535 --> 00:14:39.685
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video.
00:14:39.685 --> 00:14:43.315
If you did give it a like, give it a
subscribe, do all the things as always.
00:14:43.315 --> 00:14:45.715
I really appreciate your support
and watch all these videos.
00:14:45.944 --> 00:14:48.785
And of course you're interested
in other things in development
00:14:48.985 --> 00:14:50.575
and NET or anything else.
00:14:50.595 --> 00:14:51.805
Let me know in the comments.
00:14:51.815 --> 00:14:52.675
I really appreciate it.
00:14:52.695 --> 00:14:54.475
So until next time, thanks for watching.
