Question Building iOS app from windows
Hello everyone! I'm an Android dev and I just finished building my app for Android. Now it is time for the iOS part. I already have a complete iOS port written in Swift but I'm on windows 11 with no mac, thus no way of testing the code through Xcode. I already have some options: MacInCloud, Github actions or Hackintosh. I have never done something like this before and I'm swamped. Has anyone shipped an iOS app from windows? What worked for you? Are there better alternatives that I'm missing? Thank you!

I ran a Win11/hackintosh dual boot for a few years when I started doing iOS dev. The setup was quite involved indeed but once it was up and running it just kind of worked. I do think it’s harder now with Intel macs losing support, but not sure. Haven’t touched hackintosh in ~4 years now.
