Is it possible to make iPhone/iPad apps with just a Windows machine?

Visual Studio has Xamarin which is supposed to make native iOS apps but the dev forums say you still need a Mac to make iOS apps.

Is there a way to make iOS apps with just a Windows machine and no Mac?

Install mac in a VM if it's absolutely necessary

>>62290966
only in terms of waist size

>>62291105

yea but i was hoping to avoid that
>>
>>62291409
??
you're hoping to avoid using a VM instead of spending at least $500 on a used mac to release ios apps?
what???

Stop making up strawman arguments and read the OP. He wants a way to use windows software to make an iPhone app, at no point was it stated that he wanted to buy a mac or use Apple software
>>
>>62290741
there's always java script

>native iOS apps

You could try the Xamarin framework for VS, I dunno if you need a mac or not for the storyboard editor though.
>>
>>62290741
If your "app" is really just a website which is accessed through the browser.
>>
>>62290741
you still need a mac to deploy the apps if i'm not mistaken, the rest you can do on a windows machine with no problem, xamarin has emulators and all the other shits
>>
>>62290741
Xamarin Forms
>>
>>62290741
no you cant you still need to connect mac and compile from there
>>
>>62290966

What the fuck do you use ?
a windows phone?
an android? hahahaha
>>
>>62291105
This. Sorry bud, but you'll never get your app on the AppStore or test it on a device without macOS powering you.
>>
>>62295637
Supposedly people with iPhones buy apps.

Xamarin works well enough. However, what I know is that OS X is needed to build a project. VM is acceptable solution.

No, you need to pay the apple tax and have a mac to build and deploy the solution.
Also you need an apple developer account or what it's called to publish on the store

Costs more than a Mac. Thanks for living up to Borland's legacy, Embarcadero.
>>
>>62291105
Tried this you need an icloud logged in to use some of the swift api
>>

>>62295918
