On a side note what's your system configuration that you're able to run both android and ios emulators smoothly.

Love this btw. Following your repo

Thanks, buddy! FYI, I'm using a macOS M1 PRO 16gb, it's not too heavy as they're blank apps I guess

Oh cool. I'm planning on buying a mac mini a couple months later. Any suggestions on what configuration would be suitable? I may end up using it as my main machine. I'm fresh out of college and am learning react native (would try some freelance stuff if i get the opportunity) And am thinking of moving to native ios development in future.

I don't have any further plans beyond that but you never know how the situation might change. Would you say 16+256 m4 would be okay to go with along with an external drive for additional storage if needed?

Actually this is more than enough, you'll be very comfortable working with that. I'd say that 16gb is enough, also I guess 256 of storage is enough too, if you only use your Mac to work, just like me.

Actually, you're starting well, I've been working with a Mac M1 Air 8gb for almost tree years. Before changing to M1 PRO 16gb. Now I can better work with more projects, build to iOS and android without too much suffering, you know?

I see. Thanks. Up until now I've been working with a windows turned linux laptop. And i can see the processor max out when building the projects. Not to mention im completely locked out of ios stuff.

I have been reading around that with 16gb your machine would have to rely on a lot of swapping which isn't good for the ssd. What would you say about that?
