I've been doing iOS dev work for a year or two now, along with some Xamarin work on Windows and I'm looking for an ultimate dev configuration that allows me to get rid of my two machines and just use a Macbook with Parallels. However, I have a few questions that are still unanswered:
1) Use a real keyboard/mouse (I find working on Mac keyboard/mouse not quite as productive)
2) Have a Thunderbolt Ethernet connection (our wifi is not always the best)
3) Have an output to two additional monitors, which could show both Windows OS, both Mac OS, or one of each.
Is this too much to ask? Anyone else have this configuration? If so is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

This is a question that is probably better suited to the Xamarin Forums. However, the set up you describe is one of the arrangements I use myself. The only difference is that I use a Mac keyboard. You should be able to use a PC keyboard perfectly fine but you may choose to remap some keys in the Mac preferences.
The only thing I can think of to be aware of is that while you can use nested virtualisation to run an emulator inside the Windows VM it will be significantly slower than running it on your Mac natively. As such, if you intend to code for Android, I would suggest running the AVDs on your Mac and connecting to them remotely from Windows.

I have used Selenium for making python projects and now I want to try similar projects in Swift with Xcode using Selenium. Unfortunately, I quickly found out Selenium is not for Swift or iOS apps.
I have been spending the last two days researching on a Selenium alternatives for mobile but have not been able to find anything. Everything I have found so far seems to be outdated. Is there any alternative that is for the current version of Swift and Xcode?
The ONLY option available for automating iOS devices is with Appium and the XCUITest driver.
(Unless there are other drivers recently made that utilize XCUITest, which is an apple tool set).
XCUITest-driver can be found here
Luckily, many of the driver commands will be the same as, say, the UIAutomator2 driver for android. They inherit the same base classes/interfaces after all.
You will need to run these tests on your Mac laptop or desktop, as it is not possible to interact with an iOS device as a developer on non apple products.
Here is a set of server bash and python scripts that I used to launch a video game on to iOS (and android devices). This is not identical to what you need, but it should provide a lot of help that you might need.

I am just about to start working on iOS side of my application, and then move onto Android and Windows Mobile perhaps, but I do not own a mac and I have read mixed reviews on Mac in Cloud for me to decide against it.
As far as the hardware, I found a refurbished OS10 Macbook on Newegg for around $200 Canadian, and I was wondering if anyone has used Xamarin with the networked Mac Agent system on this old of hardware. It seems to be the cheapest way to 'start' anyway, and I wanted to know what kind of performance there is on such old hardware. Will I be waiting for hours to compile basic software :P
Here is the description of the hardware in question:
Apple Grade C Laptop MacBook MC516LL/A-C
Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40 GHz)
2 GB Memory
250 GB HDD
13.3" Display
Mac OS X
It will be slow. But how slow it is cannot be tell. Because slow is something you need to feel.
Also, one more thing you will need to consider is whether the old mac can upgrade to Sierra OS or not. This is because latest Xcode 8.3 will only able to install on Sierra OS. Without Xcode 8.3, you will need to downgrade xamarin version too. This is much more troublesome.

I need run a 16bits application on a windows 64bits without virtualization or XP mode.
Do you have a solution ?
My application have an user interface and she need to print and to access the disk.
It's a old monster, we don't have the source code (Delphi) and it's very specific (made on demand).
I think about a sort of encapsulation or a "translator" between the OS and the binary.
An idea ?
I need run a 16 bit application on a Windows 64 bit system without virtualization.
That is not possible. The only way to run this application on such a system is via a virtualized environment of one form or another.
You wonder about some form of translator or adapter, but that is of course exactly what virtualization is. A 64 bit system cannot run a 16 bit process natively, ergo you need a virtualized environment in order to run it.

When i compile a new project in Delphi 7 IDE , then i scan using http://www.virustotal.com my Delphi Project identifies it's ivected 8 Virus:
I reinstall my Windows OS and check my PC Hardisk using Dual Boot Linux Ubuntu but i can't find virus on my PC.
Please help me :'(
I checked on the name of one of the reported viruses in your screen shot and came up with this description from McAfee:
This software is not a virus or a Trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program"
(PUP). PUPs are any piece of software that a reasonably security- or privacy-minded computer
user may want to be informed of and, in some cases, remove. PUPs are often made by a
legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose, but they alter the security state
of the computer on which they are installed, or the privacy posture of the user of the
system, such that most users will want to be aware of them.
It lists aliases for this from other virus detectors, and the list includes "PUA.Win32.Packer.BorlandDelphi" from clamav. I think that may be the answer. Are you compressing your exe? Regardless, this has to do with some characteristic of the Delphi-generated EXE file and not an actual virus or trojan.
Is your program using the Indy library? Some virus scanners had signatures including Indy code because there were Trojans that used it.
I see two possibilities:
This is a false positive. Your program is doing something that looks like virus behaviour. Only you can tell what your program does.
This is a re-infection of the executable you just compiled.
If you have anti-virus software on your computer and other executables are clean, it must be case 1.
What surprises me is why you would upload your program to Virustotal. What's the reason for that? Did something happen that you have not told us?

I want to learn iOS, but unfortunately I do have only windows machine.
The tutorial I am watching is based on mac operating system.
Is there any way to practice or run iOS simulator in my windows pc. If yes then
how to do that ?
Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. But the simple answer is no. Xcode will not run in Windows and nor will the iOS Simulator. There are other projects out there that offer iOS Dev from a Windows based machine. For example:
http://phonegap.com
Also ManicDev has a blog entry on this subject:
http://maniacdev.com/2010/01/iphone-development-windows-options-available
Bottom line though: If you're serious about developing for iOS - get a Mac. Life will be much easier. Promise. :)
The Apple iOS simulator only works on OS X..
You could use a service like macincloud.com they give you access to a Mac server with the xcode tools installed. It can be a good way to start without making the huge investment.
You could also try Xamarin Studio which also you to use C# to build Android and iOS apps. Could be worth a look.
