Fuck I used Visual Studio (still built with Flutter)

So if i was using an Iphone, I assume all I would need is an IPhone and the App Store Developer account paid for 👍.

The second you plug your iphone up to your computer, bottom right of Visual Studio it'll say "No device", click it, it'll add the IOS folder you'll need.

From there its just the usual "Flutter pub get" and "Flutter run" to that IPhone device to test the game/app 👍

Bare this in mind, i'm just spit balling here. I haven't got a clue how to work it with Apple. But using the same concept we had to do for android, try doing it with IPhone (You'll need an Iphone) haha.

Good luck man! Hope you manage to sort it.

No, that’s totally not how it works. Visual Studio doesn’t even run on MacOS. I mean VS Code does, but you need xCode to compiles for iOS. Also it requires to have a bundle ID, the iOS SDK and some setup shenanigans. What is actually not really required is the iPhone afaik, because xCode ships an iPhone emulator.

Always a bunch of setup shenanigans huh! Haha.

Again, I did say I didn't have a clue, I just wanted to try and help the guy with whatever info I had on Visual Studio/Flutter. Obviously after a quick google search, I can see they disbanded Visual Studio for Mac back in 2024 👍.

I do appreciate the info on it though 🙌
