How to Develop For iOS Without a Mac - The SECRET Apple Doesn't Want You To Know About 🤫

[@carlodasilva5825]

brother, you had to install zerotier to create the ips and the work network, then connect from your vscode on windows to the file that is on mac

[@arnobchowdhury9641]

Your idea of using live share is really good.

[@heroe1486]

Hey ! I'm on Archlinux and have used Qemu to run Catalina few months ago but yeah it was pretty laggy. I'm not at all into mobile development although I know react but let's imagine I develop an app with Reach Native, should I still need a real Mac to deploy it to the app store or could it through the VM ? Thanks for the video, the live share thing seems fun

[@netharuM]

instead of using liveshare 05:01 you could have just set up a SSH server on the mac and connected to it remotely through vs code's remote development

[@joaovitor8485]

Maybe Sosumi or a Cloud toolkit for compiling?

[@SimpleCoder]

Better and cheaper than that 😉

I have iPhone And my laptop is windows Am working in flutter How can i run my code on my phone

[@danyalzafar5183]

If you find out, also comment here the steps.

[@fluffsquirrel]

I too would be excited to see steps to do this, please

[@famousmwofficial8046]

​@@fluffsquirrelI guess there's no solution just build a hackintosh or buy a mac.

[@fluffsquirrel]

@@famousmwofficial8046 Classic Apple. Oh well, thanks mwofficial

With this method, we can run ever macos and run tests with the nested virtual simulator, but I have a big question; Is it possible to install macOS on a virtual machine, compile and publish the application? Has anyone tried this?

[@Gbenga-fi5ox]

Bro what about windows users and can you make a video tell us how we can upload to apple store using vmware please

[@isimkapal7877]

[@BirkinIdk]

Yes, you can. You might need to compile your own macos installer, if you’re unable to sign in. Otherwise, as long as you can sign in, you should be able to create a developer account and publish apps no problem. It’s slow, and not ideal, but you can do it.

[@BirkinIdk]

Also, look into dual booting MacOS. You can natively install MacOS on a non-Apple PC and it’ll run way better than any VM

[@Mrpouletgeek]

Thank you @simcoder for this ! Your video is very helpful ! 👍👍👍

[@SimpleCoder]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@muhammadharis-lo9nv]

Hi sir thankyou what is specification of your PC to run virtual box mac os

[@cagrcolak3287]

one exception, when you are developing camera using app it's not possible with that. maybe it's worth time to build hackintosh pc.

[@grayliar147]

Thank you for advise

[@AndyJMacLeod]

I’d say getting a Mac is just the “cost of doing business” in the world of Apple. You don’t need an iPhone, or iPad, with the Xcode simulator… But it might be wise to get one for testing purposes. It doesn’t need to be the latest. It might be better to get an old one - with the minimum spec that you intend to support.

[@paulkronegger3248]

It is always more important to test on older devices. On those old devices, you are more likely to encounter bugs, caused by memory leaks or inefficient code.

[@msmalik681]

don't you need a iphone connected to actually build a ipa ?

[@mistrebrown7642]

Does it still work?

[@halmrk4822]

What you think about opencore ?

[@SimpleCoder]

Opencore is an option as well. However this the tutorial on passthrough is easy enough to follow. But opencore should work as well don't see any reason why it shouldn't 😉

[@t99t99]

@@SimpleCoder im runing opecore on imac 2011 can run xcode and build my app on it ?

[@tyebeach]

There is no simulator with the big sure vm

[@amra.haleem5175]

Hello Sim. I made some prayers for you as you helped me a lot in this lesson. I hope they are accepted :) My greetings from Egypt.

[@keamogetswekekana6127]

i have an iphone and i would like to test with my phone how do i do it

[@fluffsquirrel]

I am on iphone and I would like to write code and test on here like with APDE and Sketchware on Android. Same inquisition, I don't know if this is even possible.

[@josuebarros-desenvolvedorw2490]

I'm a fullstack web developer and I need to develop for IOS with ReactNative urgently... should I head to MacInCloud?

[@paulkronegger3248]

Buy a mac and an older iPhone (4years old or sth.). It is cheaper since getting VMs to work all the time is a pain in the ass, and costs you a lot of time.

[@amitmondal7427]

Thank you.

[@MobileDeveloper1965]

I got an old Mac 2015 for $250

[@poakssa]

Is it good enough for mobile app compilation?

[@MobileDeveloper1965]

@@poakssa not for iOS, but good enough for android

[@poakssa]

@@MobileDeveloper1965 thanks for the response. Kinda defeats the purpose for me as I need it only for xcode to compile iOS version of the apps I create.

[@Herberts4449]

Can I guess emulator?

[@SimpleCoder]

That's not all 😉

[@_dinesh]

I honestly don't mind spending some $$ on macbook pro. But the operating system sucks. Apple need to put in more love into that. Right now its a million lightyears behind from the latest gnomeOS. Sadly they don't provide a way to develop ios apps on other operating system.

[@themothialbani4523]

bro is this legal??

[@SimpleCoder]

I prefer not to state anything on that matter ehehe

[@themothialbani4523]

@@SimpleCoder Bro my doubt is can i build ios app through this and sell it through fiverr?? Then what will be the after effect 🤔

[@SimpleCoder]

I don't believe they will go after you if that happens as there's no way if knowing the app was built using this method. Expo allows you to build an IPA without a Mac, you will require an apple developer account to do it though

[@alexfrozen]

Audasity! Yeah. Geekish thing)

[@mohammedissam3651]

F Apple

[@famousmwofficial8046]

F Microsoft for never releasing Windows phone sdk on mac os or any of their heavy more capable ides on mac. Let's not be biased and hate both.

[@ozkana]

Just buy a Mac Mini M1 and use it instead. Cheaper and more performant

[@SimpleCoder]

Not cheaper than this 😉
