Also use Mac for work and personal. But I spend most of my time in neovim and the browser, so tbh I don’t really care what I use. I just like that I can answer texts from my Mac via iMessage. I haven’t tried them, but I think there are some i3 style window managers for macOS. That’s the next thing I would explore if I wanted a more Linux like experience.
I started doing my Xcode builds in CI, so I guess I’m not really tied to Mac anymore. In its current state, I’m more attached to the hardware than the software.
There's an app called "rectangle", I think it's even open source, that allows you to tile windows in macos, I've been using it since day 1. Not exactly i3, but it does most of what I want so it doesn't get in the way.
And to be honest on my desktop I've been using KDE for years, does enough tiling for my needs (usually just halves/quarters).
Codemagic? I've made some pokes at using that for iOS builds with middling luck.
I’m using Fastlane, which I’m running via GitHub actions triggered by git tag.
I might give that a try, thanks for the reply. Codemagic is a bit complicated though I did seem to get it to work with a git tag increment as well.
Doing anything in that iOS environment is like pulling teeth it seems.
