Where is the Xcode project for a Mac build?

When I build for iOS Unity always creates an Xcode project. Why doesn't Unity create an Xcode project when I build for OSX?

 

Because it was required to build an Xcode project in order to publish to iOS, and there's no such requirement for OS X builds.

@Eric5h5 then how can it make a Mac app without Xcode and it's Cocoa libraries?

 

You've never needed Xcode to make a binary, on either OS X or iOS. It was simply Apple's rule in the earlier days of the iPhone that iOS builds had to be produced with Xcode. They relaxed that later; for example you can use Flash Builder/Flex to create builds directly. (Still need OS X for code signing/uploading though.)

The reason I ask this is because I want to run a beta program for my Mac game so I thought I'd use HockeyApp. But the HockeyApp website show how to do by adding/changing things in an Xcode project for a Mac app. So now I'm wondering how to use HockeyApp id Unity never creates an Xcode project for a Mac build.

 

Plugins. Needs Pro.

 

I got Unity Pro.

 

Making plugins is beyond me and I have no intention of trying to learn Obj-C. I studied pretty hard for a few months but could never get my head around it. Various versions of Assembly language OK, SmallTalk, Java, ActionScript, JavaScript, Python, etc. OK. Obj-C is probably the only language that I just could not learn (or didn't really want to because I thought it was just too damn confusing).

 

You don't need to use Objective-C to make plugins. C++ or something else is fine. http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Plugins.html
