MacOS – Does running both (XCode & Android Studio) at the same time overload the MacBook Air with only 8 GB of Ram

androidmacosmemoryperformancexcode

This IDE is for the Automation Testing Purpose.

Along with Appium Server, I need to run the Emulator of Xcode's iOS Emulator and the Android Studio's Emulator.

Does this Run smoothly in the 8GB RAM of Macbook Air.

You can install them both because installing only takes up disk space, not RAM. If you try to run them both simultaneously there may be a problem depending on how much RAM each application takes. They both may run simultaneously but they may be slow.
