Problem Agitation
Mobile Environment Bottleneck
“But not every product can be built in virtual machines. iOS needs Xcode, Android needs emulator, games need Unity.”
- On screen
- Sandbox Thinking ... Full build/run not possible - this native iOS app requires macOS + Xcode + iOS simulator. I need an Android emulator to test this app. This game requires Unity environment.
