Is there any way to build IOS app on Windows?

Question

I'm developing native apps but I have a Windows pc. Is there an actual way to build iOS apps on Windows? And can I run an ios emulator on Windows? I researched but I can't find an actual way.

I tried to install MacOS Sierra on Virtual Box but it consistently restarting.

Do I need both to build it?

Answer 1

NativeScript CLI & Sidekick support cloud build that would help you build your app from a Windows machine, basically the source code is uploaded to a remote machine and built there, then you could directly run the package on your local iOS device.

But unfortunately it is not possible to run the iOS Simulator on Windows at all, which is a limitation from Apple.

Answer 2

I haven't used it before, but apparently you can do so using Nativescript Sidekick.
