Developing on Mac
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up my developer environment on Mac, but I'm running into some setup issues. Is anyone developing on Mac? If so, do you use Xcode? I hope that I don't have to use this IDE as it's almost 20GB.
Thanks.

Hi!
It is recommended to use QtCreator, because by default everything works. Detailed instructions on how to set up the environment are described here https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki/Set-up-developer-environment
Lately, I prefer CLion, but it isn't easy to configure and some things do not work there, for example, QML syntax support. So it is recommended to use QtCreator.

Thank you!
However, probably you still need Xcode regardless of which IDE and build system you use. This is because tools like compilers and the macOS SDK are provided with Xcode. Perhaps installing just the Xcode command line tools is enough: https://gist.github.com/shoogle/750a330c851bd1a924dfe1346b0b4a08
