Recomended hardware requirements.

Hi, would a Mac Mini 2M chip 8gb of ram be fine?

Be fine for what - development? No way is 8 GB enough. I've got 2 SwiftUI apps in the AppStore, and both were developed on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM. Working with Xcode 15 beta 2 and VisionOS simulator, it comes to a crawl. My best guess is that this is a memory issue more than a processor issue. Bottom line: the M2 Mac mini would most likely be fine, but DEFINITELY buy the most RAM you can.

Work fine on Mac Book Pro M1 Max 64 Ram

It takes a couple of minutes to start, but the simulator works acceptably with my 8GB M2 mini 2023; I haven't tried using the authoring tools yet.
