    Hi

    I recently discovered that, with Unity 2021 LTS and later, it is possible to install the IL2CPP option for Linux on Windows systems. This is neat, since it doesn't require to run the editor on multiple systems to perform this build. I was wondering whether a similar feature is in the works to also add macOS as a build target for that.

    Is this being considered or implemented? If so, is there a timeline available for this?

    Thanks in advance!

    It is possible to target an iOS player from a Windows editor. However, that "build" will generate an Xcode project which you must copy to a macOS machine to compile and deploy to the iOS device.

    MacOS also isn't possible. That also requires xCode
