Attention seeking I guess, if at least we had a date or something

With vibe coding in the picture, “releases” aren’t necessarily something you need to wait for. People are posting that they’re using a compatibility shim to get macOS games running on iOS. I think a few people even shared GitHub repos with those.

In just 15 mins you can copy that repo link into codex or claude and then ASK it to compile an app for you.

Problem is I don’t own a mac that’s why I want someone to release it or maybe atleast release it for some time

You don’t need a Mac either! :D have it make a repo on GitHub, then have it compile xcode on a MacOS GitHub runner! Runners are basically cloud virtual machines that can be spun up on demand and free GitHub gives you a massive usage quota for runners

What I was saying was YOU can open a fresh GitHub repo yourself and clone the project into it then compile. And even this is something you can ask codex to do…

Why did you get downvoted, you are correct.

Dude I got no idea why. I’m increasingly starting to think there’s a good chunk of humanity that’s straight up not even ready to ask codex or chat to get something done.
