I have a Dell XPS laptop with Windows 8 and I'm using VMWare and OSX Lion. OSX Lion is very stable even though it is not a real Mac. I know that is not the right way to do Delphi XE4/iOS development but that is my fastest portable system and it works. The problem is that opening a project and compiling may work one time and then XE 4 crashes the next. It is very time consuming. Do others experience this problem on a real Mac or Hackintosh like I am experiencing?

I use a MacBook with Windows 7 64-bit in a Parallels VM. XE4 has a tendency to crash frequently (especially not being able to write the output file). It is time consuming and hopefully Embarcadero is able to stabilize this at some time.
I also have this observation on my Windows machine for VCL development

Now I'm using a normal PC (3GB RAM, WinXP) with a MacMini (Lion) in LAN. My XE4 isn't very stable too, but it usually crashes only after 3-4 hours of work. Sometimes it throws a "Not enough memory" exception and quits, however it only uses about 1,5 GB (by the TaskManager).
Before this setup, I used a VMWare within my XP with MountainLion. I've absolutely no problem with the VMWare, except it was a bit slower than the real Mac. But the Delphi wasn't more unstable with the VMWare setup.
I encounter more crashes in the Form Designer within the Delphi than when compiling, or editing the source.
I have the Update 1 for XE4, but I think they won't fix too many bugs within XE4, since in September, XE5 is coming with Android support and I think they'll focus on that. :(

Macbook Pro 2009, 8GB RAM and SSD.
Parallels 7 with Windows7 64Bits (3GB RAM). I have some crash, but nothing to worry about. (Maybe one crash each week or so).

I am using windows 7 with mac mini, I don't get too many issues in Delphi, but after a long period of time, Delphi begins to throw exceptions, I usually just ignore them and they don't cause any issues, But they are annoying, and sometimes, although pretty rare, I have had Delphi just stop responding.
I have update 1 installed also, Didn't fix any of the issues i was seeing.... so was kinda dissapointed with it, but then i found DPF components and Lifes good again :D

I've found that if I delete a Page from a NavigationController in DesignTime, my Delphi crashes with AccessViolation. Anyone else have this behaviour?
