You can use Pharo to make iOS apps . Is it a good idea ? Don't know but the author of Dr Geo can jump in here and advise you. he is the one that released Dr Geo for iOS. I think it's Android that is a bit more problematic. Your freeze is indeed weird but when it comes to MacOS , it seems I am the weird. The website advises that in Sierra Pharo 6.1 cannot work outside the Application folder, it works for me. I agree that hunting bugs , especially lower level requires a level masochism :D The easiest solution is to make sure the bug is outside Pharo. Maybe it's a driver , MacOS is prone to these kind of problems. My first Mac was crashing all my graphics orientated apps for 2 weeks after I bought it . After second week Apple updated the GOU drivers I experienced crashes of two or three per year. So do a thorough search if you have not done already , there is always a smarter guy with a work around. I am actually in the process of making a commercial Python app and wonder whether I should put Pharo into the mix. It's very tempting.

Hi Stephane, Ben
In the Smalltalk world, you could value me as a relatively "simple" application developer as a first attempt after a long time, I am trying to make a dentist's app with Pharo Smalltalk. (The intend is to use Smalltalk (Pharo) with Seaside and Postgress whenever possible, because today, Smalltalk is fast enough for most applications)
At deeper levels, like working or even adequately understanding the inner workings of VMs I virtually have no knowledge. This is not my terrain. Although this might be interesting too, it would cost me weeks to get into that, before being able to do things like debugging VM's...
So also due to time constraints , I'd have to refrain from that, sorry, also because I am currently working on a new version of my app RavelNotes. This is in Swift ( i can live with that) btw, because Smalltalk is not available for making native apps for iOS iPad. Would be an extremely daunting task to link all iOS libs etc into Smalltalk...
cheers TedvG
