First I downloaded Sonoma on my Big Sur machine via Software Update:
and tried the following commands:
hdiutil create -o /tmp/Sonoma -size 16384m -volname Sonoma -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J
hdiutil attach /tmp/Sonoma.dmg -noverify -mountpoint /Volumes/Sonoma
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Sonoma –nointeraction
hdiutil eject -force /Volumes/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma
hdiutil convert /tmp/Sonoma.dmg -format UDTO -o ~/Desktop/Sonoma
mv -v ~/Desktop/Sonoma.cdr ~/Desktop/Sonoma.iso
rm -fv /tmp/Sonoma.dmg
The output was the following:
admin@MacBook-Pro-Admin ~ % hdiutil create -o /tmp/Sonoma -size 16384m -volname Sonoma -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J

Ready to start.
To continue we need to erase the volume at /Volumes/Sonoma.

After that I realized that I probably do not need this ISO and followed this video and created my virtual machine:

It did not work with Apple ID and I created a regular user:

Xcode 15.3 gets stuck when I try to select iOS 17.4 platform:
But I was able to run clang from the command line:
~ % sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
~ % clang --version
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
and at least I was able to compile the following C++ source code:
#include <type_traits>
int main()
{
std::common_reference_t<int&, const int&> a = 25;
return 0;
}
with the following command:
clang -std=c++20 b.cpp
Reset to factory:
Installing software displays 2 minutes, but actually takes hours:
Downloaded and installed MacPorts:
tried to install Clang 17 with the following commands:
sudo port install clang-17
port contents clang-17
cd /opt/local/libexec/llvm-17/bin
./clang --version
clang version 17.0.6
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-17/bin/.
and there is also clang-mp-17 in /opt/local/bin folder.
port select --list clang
Available versions for clang:
mp-clang-17
none (active)
sudo port select --set clang mp-clang-17

Selecting 'mp-clang-17' for 'clang' succeeded. 'mp-clang-17' is now active.

Hello RAITON!) Version 14.0.1 is still not working correctly. I’ve been working on version 14.0.1 for two weeks. If you are working on a real project and want stability in working with the program, install version 13.4.1. This is the latest version of Xcode 13 and works perfectly. I went back to version 13.4.1 and have no problems. There is already a beta version of 14.1 (Beta 3), but after version 14.0.1, somehow I don’t really want to update. In my opinion, it will be possible to upgrade to a more stable version of Xcode 14 at the beginning of the new year.
You can download any version here: https://xcodereleases.com/

How to install Xcode from xip file
Double-click the xip file and it will extract the Xcode application. Move Xcode to the Applications folder and you are good to go.
The App Store should present the Xcode update once you update to Sierra (macOS 10.12). If it doesn’t you can download Xcode directly from the App Store. The preferences are stored in /Users//Library/Preferences and are not impacted by updating the version of Xcode or OS.
Trying to install clang-16 using MacPorts, but clangd along with others aren’t set?
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/460097/trying-to-install-clang-16-using-macports-but-clangd-along-with-others-arent-s
I guess I could maybe sudo port select –set clangd clangd-mp-16. How do I make sure that everything related to clang-16 is available and being used? The list is quite long. Am I supposed to set all those manually?

Once installed, choosing an Xcode installation is done using the xcode-select tool.
$ sudo xcode-select –switch /Applications/Xcode.app
You can inspect the globally selected Xcode installation using the same tool.
$ xcode-select -print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
The xcrun command can then be used to find a particular tool in the toolchain.
$ xcrun -sdk macosx -find clang
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
or show the platform SDK path used when building.

Ensure your physical system is an Apple-labeled computer. This is required to install or run OS X 10.8 and OS X 10.9 in a virtual machine.

iOS apps can be tested using Xamarin Testflight. This is a tool that allows for beta testing of apps on iOS devices. Testflight can be used to test apps on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. To use Testflight, you will need to have a valid Apple ID. Once you have a valid Apple ID, you can follow the instructions to beta-test an app.

A rather simple solution to simulators and other market alternatives would be BrowserStack App Live for iPhone testing.
BrowserStack’s Real Device Cloud can help Windows developers test iPhone applications by providing access to a wide range of real devices on the cloud that can be used for testing. This includes a wide range of iPhones, iPads, and different versions of macOS. This means that developers can test their iOS apps on many device-browser-OS combinations, ensuring that they work as intended on all of them.
