Is it possible to build React Native apps without an iOS device?

Question

iOS

I was very interested in React Native and I would like to try to implement an application on it.
How can I, without a Mac product, implement such an application using a development browser?
After all, in theory, like React JS , it should allow you to use your DOM , CSS and logic in JS in a regular browser.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

RN does not use the DOM, instead it uses native elements and the implementation of flexbox via JS. Still, there is an opportunity to play around, but nothing more: https://rnplay.org/ .

Answer to everyone who came here through the search:

1. without mac os x you won't be able to develop for iOS on react-native
   
2. without a device, of course, you can do something, but sooner or later you will have to buy it, and the fresher the model you have in your hands, the more opportunities you have, for example, 6s has a forstach and 6 doesn’t, many will say that it doesn’t needed, but having access to the latest apple features is always useful. In addition, in the simulator you will not be able to fully test your application. And yes, sometimes bugs appear on the device that are not in the simulator :-)
   
3. development in the browser doesn't happen, you don't have DOM and CSS in the way you're used to them. You will have a very sophisticated flexbox and a strange set of css selectors that do not work as well as in the browser

They write that android applications can be made without a poppy, but IOS is only on OS X.
