Hey everyone! Currently using composer on physical hardware to package apps, followed by a reload of the device.  Looking into Parallels or Fusion for app packaging.  Has anyone run into any issues packaging apps on a vm?  Thanks in advance 🙂

I use a vm in fusion to do my composer packaging. Have not had a reason to look at real hardware as I have not had any issues. I just use a clean machine and roll back the snapshot after use so it is always a new Mac.

Agreed with @MikeF - I've used fusion and parallels to do this in the past, and utilizing snapshots so its always a clean state when making a new package
