Here’s a clean, end-to-end checklist to get a Mac ready for professional iOS development (from “brand new machine” to TestFlight and App Store). I’ve kept links and citations to Apple’s latest requirements so nothing’s out of date. 1) Hardware & OS Use a Mac (Apple silicon strongly preferred). Install a supported macOS version for the current Xcode. As of today, Xcode 16.x requires macOS Sonoma 14.5+ (16.0–16.2) or macOS Sequoia 15.x (16.3–16.4). Check Apple’s live Xcode support page before you start. Apple Developer +1 2) Apple accounts & memberships Apple ID : Create or use an Apple ID. Turn on two-factor authentication.
