Apr 27, 2015 1. This is by far the best option. Using apple's hardware to run Xcode is going to be your best experience for making apps. You might not have a Mac though and buying one can be expensive. I remember when I wanted to first buy a Mac and couldn't get over the price tag. The MacBook I was looking to buy cost $1,200. So you want to develop an iOS application for your iPhone or iPad. Thinking of being the next big app to hit the appstore. Only one problem, developing applications for the iPhone and iPad require a Mac or more specifically a machine running Mac OS X. Aug 30, 2012 It is true that you can develop on any Mac. But keep in mind whether or not you feel comfortable coding on smaller screen. Not only that, in 11'/13', you will have a hard time running retina iPhone/iPad/retina iPad simulator. You still can, but it's just not convenience. Aug 30, 2012 3:04 PM Reply Helpful. Thread reply - more options. The app stays on your iPhone even after unplugging it from mac or iMac but it only stays for 7 days. After 7 days you need to re-deploy, it means that you need to this procedure again or you can simply just buy the 99.9 dollar subscription from Apple. Apr 26, 2016 It's not possible to build iOS Applications without Mac as the final product needs to be packed and signed using Xcode tools, which runs only on Mac platform.

To compile an ios app, you will need XCode running on a mac. If you don't own a mac, you can try using a cloud service like https://www.macincloud.com/
Using a virtual machine should also be possible, but as far as i know there is no 'official' way to get a virtual machine with macos.
Another way is to use https://appcenter.ms/ to build your app.
Thanks @DirkWilhelm for your reply.
App center sounds interesting. I have created an account to start exploring.
Oct 11, 2017 The Mac, and your iOS devices, all handle PDFs very well. The Mac can print pretty much anything to PDF without even touching a mouse, and doing the same on iOS is. Open the PDF file or image you want to print. If you need to print more than one file, open all of them in Preview. Go to 'View' 'Thumbnails', and then command and click the thumbnails for the pages you want to print. This is for if you only want to print a select few pages. Go to 'File' 'Print', and then choose the print. Mac preview.app print command line parameters.
How about debugging the app step by step? will it be possible using a cloud service?
In the Time Machine menu, select Enter Time Machine, and it will take you to Time Machine on Mac. Click Apple menu choose System Preferences and click on Time Machine. Upgrade photos software on mac.
I have downloaded a macOS High Sierra 10.13 Virtual Box machine. I will give a try.

@jstuardo We don't recommend you to install VMs on a windows machine as it is in violation of Apple's licensing for Mac OS. Apple only allows VMs run on a real Mac device as the host.
Maybe you can try some cloud services which offer Mac OS but it still can't help you deploy the project on your real iPhone because the Mac is not by your side. And generally, these services are not free.
Moreover, App Center can only help you deploy your application to your iPhone. You cannot debug the codes line by line.
Unfortunately, if you want to develop iOS applications it's better to buy a Mac machine.Read this article:
