Is there any way to build React-Native iOS app without an Apple machine?

Currently I am on Debian, and Android version of the react-native app is working fine.

    Hackintosh at best. But that's kind of a legal gray area.

    There are cloud testing and cloud building services but it's less than ideal really...

    Afraid not,
    you'll need Xcode regardless of language or tools you use to build your app to actually deploy it to a device.

    Welcome to Apple where, that's a $1000 phone, $2000+ Mac + $99 / year subscri... license I mean license, and breaking changes in every update, and then your expected to make a profit.

    I though xaramin Would have helped, but once you get into it's finer print, it's useless without a Mac.

    @frogstair I did look down that path, but it's too much effort to bother, and you still need a Mac 😅🤷‍♂️

    @frogstair if Apple did one thing right (wrong) it was make a premium to use their hardware, then make a premium to develop for their hardware.

    The less you pay, the harder your life becomes.

    I think only option I have is to just get a friend's machine on remote and build my app! #lockdown

    Thanks @frogstair @C0D4 @ilikeglue @WeAreMany
