SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- InstallAware Software, the technology leader in software installation, repackaging, and virtualization solutions for app developers and enterprises, has launched a free and open-source installer for Apple's Game Porting Toolkit on macOS. InstallAware is the most flexible platform for traditional and agile development teams creating Linux, macOS, Windows and Azure software installers; as well as MSIX/APPX/App-V, and agentless InstallAware Virtualization packages.

Key Points: 
  • "An alternative to Parallels hypervisor-based virtualization, platform-locked InstallShield, or Java-bound InstallAnywhere; InstallAware Multi Platform's native code Apple Game Porting Toolkit Installer runs Windows software and games on macOS in a single click."
  • Apple's Game Porting Toolkit helps software developers easily port their existing 3D games to macOS, but is complex to set up and use.
  • Furthermore, while the Game Porting Toolkit requires macOS Sonoma and Apple Silicon, InstallAware's solution also supports Intel Macs and older macOS versions.
  • Software developers may also download the source code of this setup wizard, all of which is published open source, from https://github.com/installaware/AGPT – InstallAware Software encourages contributions and improvements to its Apple Game Porting Toolkit Installer.
