Hello, everyone!
I have exciting news to share with you!
I am very pleased to share with you that Service Studio for Mac was released today. Mac users can now use Service Studio natively on macOS!
Please, check this announcement for further details! :)
This does seem a bit of a limitation. It's 2017 not 1999.
I'm not directly comparing Outsystems with any of the following but: Ionic, Phonegap, Appcelerator, FuseTools, NativeScript, Appery, Screendy, Appgyver... in fact ever mobile dev platform that comes to mind has multi-platform tools either in the native GUI, command line or through a browser. Appery & Screendy have really rich visual IDEs for building apps & wiring up components to REST backends etc. all done in the browser.
Even Microsoft's Xamarin Studio has a Mac version! Yet the OutSystems offering is tied to Windows....so that people can develop apps which run on... Android and iOS?
It's a real shame.

I'm a bit dazed and confused that nobody has posted the comment 'You do know there's a beta version of outsystems that runs in a browser?' I found out by accident when logging into my outsystems account through a web browser and saw the "We notice you're fortunate enough not to be using Windows, do you want to try the limited web beta version?" or something similar. ;-)Amazing news - I wonder how 'limited' the beta is?
Hey Steve,
The web version as it is today, is very experimental with limited capability. Here's a forum post that explains a bit more.
Hi all: just sharing the exciting news that OutSystems Service Studio is now available for Mac OS in a Technical Preview:
Please try it and share your feedback!
Correcting my earlier comment, Studio for Mac tech preview is only available for OS11: https://www.outsystems.com/home/downloadsdetail/110/2112/
Now wee need Linux platform version.

Hi! I need a linux version too.
I need a linux version too. Thanks.
Yes! We need!
I have a suggestion for the outsysyems platform development team: on Linux, the environment was able to be installed and started with the help of the wine emulator. The problem occurred when starting the platform, as it requires it to work together with the default browser. At that time, it stops working. Try to create a way of not having direct dependence on the platform with the browser. If so, include a browser built into the platform. Here in Brazil, there are several developers with knowledge of Linux and dot net core. Propose the challenge on social networks. You can only gain from this.
Great! Awesome job!
Question, isn't this wish half solved? That is, there is still the linux version, I know that mac is linux behind the scenes but still.
When I posted this wish 11 years ago, I was actually using a linux machine (ubuntu). A few years later, I had to change to windows, and then, I had the opportunity to use mac, and since 2015 that is what I'm using (have to use an amazon workspace for OutSystems).
So this is very good news for me :) but the linux devs are still waiting :(
Going back to the question, shouldn't this be something like 3/4 solved?
Again, thank you for all your effort.
Hi, Nelson!
Thanks for your comment. Indeed, we now support Service Studio natively for Windows and macOS. We don't have plans to support Service Studio on Linux in the short/medium term.
I am glad the new service studio on macOS is good news to you!
Keep the feedback coming, Ângela
Nelson, it's already a reality.
I'm testing with Xubuntu 22.04 and having good results. But it can be on any Linux distribution.
I'm using the "Lutris" program that runs Wine under the interface of this program, it's nothing more than a configuration facilitator for Wine. Soon I will bring more results.
