Who has experience developing iOS/macOS applications in Xcode running on VirtualBox on Windows/Linux?

Question

iOS

Hello!
I consider myself a novice iOS developer, but at the same time I don’t have a single device from Apple, even an iPhone (because I’m a rogue).
I know that there are many ways to do without Apple hardware in iOS / macOS development, but is it possible to create and publish a full-fledged application using virtual machines and emulators in real practice?
What can be the restrictions?
Is it worth it?
P.S. The application being created is an alternative to Evernote and the like.

Answer 1

Use flutter: it's easier. Development under Windows, debugging on Android, then you collect the debugged code in a virtual machine with an iskcode. Then you collect and pour into the appstore. This is how we work :-) the main thing is not to use Mojave's

Answer 2

Can. The car must be powerful. Restrictions in what can blunt / slow down / take off. Some hemorrhoids can represent a connection to a virtual iron iPhone, sometimes it refuses to connect for non-obvious reasons.
You are also clearly violating the user agreement, there are horror stories about what kind of thing they can get banned on occasion. I have not seen this live, but horror stories go around.
Probably, if you are a "rogue", then the right goal would not be "publish your application in the store" but "pump-learn, find an iOS-june's job and in a year buy a poppy, an iPhone, everything else.
And at a new professional and material level, return to your conceived application an alternative to Evernote and the like
for this, the virtual machine is quite suitable, I saw this, you can say it en masse at iOS developer courses.
and he himself, when the trees were large, taught Objective-C on a virtual machine with a Snow Leopard, which was running on a host with Win7 / Core2Duo with 4 gigs. If you want, you won't be so upset...

Answer 3

Maybe. But this is torment.
Without an advertising budget, launching an application is unrealistic ( there are exceptions, of course ). The advertising budget exceeds the cost of a used poppy. I advise you not to torture yourself with virtual machines and hackintosh .

Answer 4

And the point is, if you can’t make money on a computer, this is clearly not a niche for you.
