MacOS Remote Desktop for Xcode & for testing purpose.

OSX Optimizations

Below you will find extremely good optimizers, particularly for virtual machines. Some of the commands are dangerous from a remote access perspective, but they will greatly optimize your VM/MacOS_Remote.

Disable spotlight indexing on macOS to heavily speed up Virtual Instances.

# massively increase virtualized macOS by disabling spotlight.
sudo mdutil -i off -a

# since you can't use spotlight to find apps, you can renable with
# sudo mdutil -i on -a

Skip the GUI login screen (at your own risk!)

defaults write com.apple.loginwindow autoLoginUser -bool true

sudo nvram boot-args="serverperfmode=1 $(nvram boot-args 2>/dev/null | cut -f 2-)"

# turn off
sudo nvram boot-args="$(nvram boot-args 2>/dev/null | sed -e $'s/boot-args\t//;s/serverperfmode=1//')"
