MacOS Big Sur requires an astonishing 46.01 GB of storage space on your Mac – 12.18 GB just for the update file and the remaining 34.83 GB is used up to be able to deploy and perform the new MacOS installation. The download itself is already several gigabytes in size, so many people have had to wait the whole day for the whole system update to finish downloading. Mac users can download macOS Big Sur through the Mac App Store. Now that you have Video Optimizer and all the required software installed, you are ready to test your iOS application.MacOS developers promised that this major system update would be big – and they weren't joking. I end with the simplest approach to step 12 – capturing a low resolution iOS trace. At this point in the video, we proceed with step 9 – completing the video optimizer installation. For this video, where we are focusing on Mac & iOS only, we will skip these steps.

I will be posting a separate video specifically for getting set up to do Android captures on a Mac.
#INSTAL MACOPTIMIZER MAC OSX#
The Mac OSX install instructions steps 8, 10 and 11 are all needed for capturing Android traces on a Mac installation of Video Optimizer. 2) After installing osxfuse you also need to install ifuse using: “brew install ifuse”. 1)Be sure to use the “HEAD” installation of libimobiledevice: “brew install –HEAD libimobiledevice”. NOTE: Two steps in the video require minor correction.

The video shows the Brew installation of libimobiledevice, ideviceinstaller and osxfuse for Mac OS all in one section. There are four components needed in order for Video Optimizer to capture traces from iOS devices. If so, it will prompt you whether you would like to do an update. Additionally, Brew is smart enough to determine if you already have a particular software package installed. Using the Brew install command from a Terminal window is much simpler than navigating the FFMPEG website for download and install instructions. The video player that Video Optimizer uses is called FFMPEG. If you already use another package manager, you can use that instead of Homebrew. In the video I install the Homebrew package manager. The next few installations can be done much quicker and easier using a package manager. There are several additional applications that Video Optimizer utilizes to perform the analysis of your applications. At the end of the installation process, there is a pop-up list of pre-requisites in order to ensure you don’t miss anything needed before you begin using it.

The installation steps are similar to any application install: accept the terms and conditions, then specify the location of the install. You only need to provide your name and email address in order to download the free installer. With Java & Xcode installed, I am now ready to download and install Video Optimizer on my computer. In that case you can skip this step and move to the Video Optimizer installation. This can be a long process to download, depending on your internet connectivity speed, so be prepared for that.Ī computer that is already configured for macOS or iOS development will likely have Xcode already installed. Once Java is installed, you will want to install Apple’s Xcode. If you do, open that and do an update of your existing version rather than attempting a new install. If you are not on a brand new machine, it is best to first check whether you have a version of Java already installed. In the video segments, I have started with a brand new Mac laptop with USB ports.īefore I can install Video Optimizer, I must install Java.
