Is developing software on "Xamarin in visual studio 2015" under "IOS" without "MacBook" real?

Question

Programming

Actually it costs "Visual Studio 2015 + Xamarin.Forms", for development under "IOS" it requires to connect "MacBook". Is it possible to develop software for IOS without buying a MacBook, or is it possible to write software for IOS only on a MacBook?.

Answer 1

for "writing software for iOS" a macbook is optional, a macos is required.
and on what it spins (macbook / aimak / poppy pro / poppy mini / hackintosh / virtual machine / coffee maker) the piano does not play any.

Answer 2

What's the problem?
Put the Mac on a virtual machine and that's it, you can work

Answer 3

Without a MacBook - it's real, without powerful hardware - it's also real - rent a VPS with OS X and you won't need anything other than sufficient Internet speed, but without OS X at all - it's unrealistic, neither Xamarin nor anywhere else has its own iOS application assembler, no wonder, because the format is proprietary, so Xcode is used.

Answer 4

you can put a hackintosh on a separate screw, or a virtual machine. I prefer the first option.
