Exporting to iOS from Windows 7

Questions & Answers
1

I can see that Apple has made the process is needlessly complicated. The only Apple devices I have access to are an iPhone 6 and an iPad mini. Is it possible to take the exported xcode project and somehow perform that last step on one of those two?

I’ve tried to download mac emulators, but they keep having weird issues, like only being the left half of a mac emulator, or being command line only & not having access to the files on my machine. Is there one in particular that’s recommended?

I don’t know how to proceed from here. What do I need?

What little information I’ve been able to find has been very old. I would hope that what’s possible has improved some since 2010.

You always need XCode to make an iOS build. XCode only runs on OSx. So your only choices are either using a Mac or emulating one somehow.

Don’t expect that to change any time soon. Apple wants to maintain strict control of its app/device ecosystem.

When I uploaded my iOS game, I used VMWare to run an OSx virtual machine running on my PC. There are instructions on how to do it on youtube. It is a big hassle an I can’t really help with that since I did it over 3 years ago.
