How much memory, ram, etc do I need for IOS development
Hello,
I am trying to figure out what I need in a mac to delve into several IOS app development projects I have in mind. Budget is an issue, but I don't want to get a device that can't meet my needs. What hardware would you suggest---minimum RAM, hard drive memory, screen size, etc.
In addition, I have been considering used and refurbished Macs. However, I have run into some issues concerning OS X compatibility with pre-2008 hardware (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4178991?answerId=19497851022#19497851022 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4097919?answerId=18905140022#18905140022). What year and models would you suggest?
I have considered Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, and the Mac Mini. Would these suffice, or should I look into a used desktop computer? What year should I look for, considering my budget and the hardware compatibility issues?
Thank you for your help!
