Programming code for macOS driver development.

macOS Driver Development Services

We offer a variety of macOS services, including macOS driver development, extensions and daemon implementation, and other low-level services for the world’s 2nd most popular desktop OS.
We provide macOS driver development services, including peripheral integration, virtual driver development, and daemon and system service development services.

What we do

Do you want to develop add-on or peripheral products with custom components for Macintosh? Then Integra Sources is at your service. We can offer peripheral integration with the help of the I/O Kit. Our macOS development services include creating in-kernel or application-level drivers for various devices, virtual driver development, extensions and daemons implementation.

macOS Driver Development

With our professional knowledge of Apple’s operating systems and kernel architecture, we can create effective kernel-level code that interacts with hardware. By building kernel extensions (KEXT), we extend the functionality of the macOS kernel. The team can build drivers for USB, networking, storage, audio, and wireless devices.

Virtual Driver Development

As part of Mac OS development services, Integra Sources can build virtual drivers. With this type of software, you can back up a hardware device to a hard drive in the form of a disk image and then use it as if you inserted a real device into your computer. We can create macOS virtual drivers for your project.

Daemon and System Service Development

We can use our macOS software development skills to create other products as well. For tasks that don’t require user interaction, we build daemons and system services that run in the background. For example, a daemon for a web server will run continuously, waiting to process HTTP requests, while a daemon for monitoring network activity will listen continuously and log any suspicious communication.

1

We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.

2

We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.

3

We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.

4

We sign a contract for custom macOS driver development or macOS service implementation. The team gets to work.

5

We select libraries, languages, and tools and start development, factoring in device features and hardware configuration. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.

6

The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions and run some tests required for product certification. If necessary, the product is then modified.

7

After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.

8

When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this information to better understand macOS development.

What do I get when the project is finished?

Upon project completion, the customer receives a fully functional software product, source codes, and detailed technical documentation. The customer will receive all the necessary instructions on how to use the product. We will also answer any questions and provide training if necessary.

What about intellectual property rights?

The cession of intellectual property rights is legislated in our contracts. We also sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect any sensitive information. We will mention your project on our website and other platforms only with your permission.

What technologies do you use for macOS driver development?

Our team is well-versed in Objective-C and C/C++. To build drivers for macOS, our specialists use the I/O Kit that contains system frameworks, libraries, tools, and other resources. Integra’s developers have created many daemons and services for macOS environments.

What type of drivers has your team developed?

Our driver programming experience includes:

  • User space USB Drivers
  • Kernel space PCI/PCIe devices
  • Drivers for audio devices
  • Drivers for web cameras
  • Drivers for video recording devices
  • Drivers for wireless devices

Do I need to certify my driver?

Yes, you do. You need to get a certificate in your developer console and sign the driver.

Could you develop a Mac OS X driver based on my current Linux driver?

Yes, we provide custom Mac OS X device driver development and can create Mac OS X drivers based on other operating systems, including Linux and Windows.

I’m planning to develop new hardware. Can you help me with porting my existing macOS driver?

Certainly. We can perform macOS or Mac OS X driver development from scratch or port your existing driver to new hardware.

Do you test custom software?

Yes, we do! That’s a part of our kernel and device driver development services. Our quality assurance department uses manual and automated testing methods to check the software we develop so engineers can fix issues before the product is released.

Can you guarantee the quality of the product?

We pay great attention to the quality of our work. The customer receives fully functional software and a detailed user manual. After finishing the project, we provide a free warranty period, during which the team will eliminate any discovered bugs. During the post-warranty period, we can also provide advice on possible modernization and modification of your product.

What is the minimum completion time?

The timing of a project largely depends on its specifics, complexity, scale, choice of components, and logistics. For example, a project audit can take 1-2 months, while AI-based software development usually lasts much longer. We always set realistic deadlines when preparing the spec and stick to the schedule at all project stages.

Who are your customers?

We develop projects for private enterprises and public organizations: small, medium, and large businesses, mining and manufacturing enterprises, startups, healthcare organizations, and enterprises engaged in other industries.
