MacOS

MacOS is a desktop operating system used by Apple devices.

Development support

Currently, MacOS is only partially supported. It's not possible to run Game Studio (the editor) on it.

However, it is possible to code and build games natively, meaning that when in a team, some programmers could work on a project using MacOS for tasks that don't require the editor.

Note

Game Studio is being rewritten to be cross-platform.

Alternatively, it is possible to create Stride games on MacOS using a code-only approach, removing the need for an editor all together.

General support

Starting with 4.4, MacOS is no longer in an experimental state. All engine features are fully supported on it.

However, there aren't currently many people looking after MacOS. The engine is tested on the platform before any change is merged to the source code, but sometimes some regressions could slip by, requiring manual testing from active maintainers. If you want to make sure that all engine features continue being supported on it, consider becoming a contributor.
