Can Flutter remove the need for a mac to create IOS apps?

flutter

So I've wanted to build both android and IOS apps and the other day I found flutter. I know that IOS requires a MacOS but flutter works on windows.

My question is, can I develop and publish IOS apps on a windows computer using flutter?

No.

The documentation on their site (https://flutter.io/docs/deployment/ios) references using Xcode and having the regular Apple accounts set up. The only way to build iOS applications without a Mac is to use a cloud service (which would use a Mac, but wouldn't require you to have a Mac).
