Step 1 — Feasibility Evaluation
Step 1 — Feasibility Evaluation
Cost: $500 flat rate
We begin with a detailed evaluation of the software to determine whether porting to macOS is technically feasible.
This includes:
- source code inspection
- dependency analysis
- build system review
- GUI framework compatibility
- architecture compatibility (Intel vs Apple Silicon)
At the end of this phase you will receive a technical feasibility report describing:
- whether the application can be ported
- estimated engineering effort
- potential risks
Step 2 — Environment Setup
Once the project proceeds, we establish a macOS build environment.
This may include:
- updating build scripts
- configuring compilers
- adapting dependency libraries
- preparing automated builds
Step 3 — Source Code Adaptation
Platform specific code must often be updated.
Typical tasks include:
- replacing Windows APIs
- adapting filesystem paths
- updating threading models
- modifying networking code
- updating UI frameworks
Step 4 — macOS Application Packaging
macOS applications use a unique Application Bundle (.app) structure.
Each application bundle includes:
- executable binaries
- libraries
- application resources
- icons and metadata
- code signing information
We use tools such as AppBundleGenerator to create proper macOS bundles suitable for distribution.
Step 5 — Testing and Optimization
Once the application runs successfully, we perform:
- runtime testing
- dependency validation
- Apple Silicon optimization
- stability testing
Step 6 — Distribution
The final application is packaged for distribution as:
.appbundles.dmginstallers- downloadable releases
