Sadly if you're doing mobile app work Macs are mandatory.

Tell me how to make iOS apps on Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nowadays you can use Expo, if you want to use React Native. They take care of everything, so a Mac isn't needed anymore

If your app needs a lot of native modules Expo simply doesn't cut it. Developing iOS apps without running an iOS simulator is a lot of pain. In my early days of development my team actually tried this. There are too many quirks for each major mobile OS (Android & iOS) that makes it a lot of pain during testing if you don't at least try to run it on the simulator.

I agree. It's not impossible but it's cumbersome. You at least need an iOS device.
