PPBA works flawlessly with KStars (INDI on macOS)

Hi,
I've got no problem installing the Pocket Powerbox Advance Gen2 in my observatory.
I use KStars on a Mac and the INDI driver installs itself.
I connected two ZWO cameras and my mount (Celestron CGE Pro) to the USB hub of the PPBA.
I used the provided USB3 Cable Type B (1.8m) + an extra active USB3 extension cable (5m) to link PPBA to my computer (total length 6.8m !). No problem.
I'm very happy with the device which solved disconnections of my mount (Celestron CGE Pro).
I only regret that the Unity Platform doesn't work on macOS.

Thank you for the feedback.
Technically the platform can be compiled and work with OSX and Linux. Our plan is to support this in the nearest future.

Once Unity is available for macOS where will the announcement be posted?

Yes, but I do not expect to have something ready by the end of this year for sure.

Hi, one year later nothing seems to be happening on porting Unity Platform on macOS.
Any good news to be awaited ?
